I did, and see that green is, as I suspected, L&R front. My external system does not have a sub in, so it must derive the sub from front L&R, which may or may not have low frequencies. It is not that critical for my setup. Thank you.
Yes, set Windows speaker config to 2.0 (2 speaker stereo). It will send everything to the green socket. The cross-over circuit in the speaker system will derive the LFE (sub) channel and send it to the sub-woofer.

What do you want it for?
Heaphones and speakers plug into the same jack (usually green).
Line out used to be Blue. However, if going to amp, use a digital port like SPDIF or HDMI instead.

It is to go to the input of a 2.1 speaker system with its own amp. So it needs a 2.1 input,

If it's really a 2.1 set, the speakers will have 2 plugs ... a Green one and another for the Sub-Woofer (usually Black).
Plug Green to Green ... that's Front-L/Front-R.
Plug other to ... well, it's Orange on my System.
Open Realtek Manager on Control Panel. Hover over colored sockets and it will tell you which is which.
