After reading a bit it looks like a component with different settings and an equalizer, or something alone those lines..

The SRS technology applies head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to create an immersive 3D soundfield using only two speakers, widening the "sweet spot," creating a more spacious sense of ambience, and producing strong localization cues for discrete instruments within an audio mix.

Yeah, we've got it figured out as to what it is, but no idea why out of nowhere it's on there, ha!

Wow this is...amazing. Umm, perhaps you triggered an event by like touching some part on the microchip, or there was a switch there or something. I dono, everything is possible.

Yeah SRS is also used in Windows Media Player, if you've noticed.

It has sound features for enabling SRS WOW, which increases the sound field, making a song sound alot better.
