| | Can my sound card make 5.1 speakers work? Hi, I'd like to buy a set of 5.1 surround speakers, but I don't know wether my sound card is able to make 5.1 speakers work, and I can't seem to find the answer by googling...  So, I used Everest to identify my sound car : it seems I've got two :  then I went to the Settings Panel, and Realtek won't let me choose Surroun instead of Stereo :  so I went to the sound settings and got this, which seems to indicate my Nvidia sound card isn't activated?! :  So, my question is : does my sound card have the ability to make 5.1 speakers work, and if yes, how should I proceed? Thank you for your help  |

| | I've just installed Speccy, what do you want to know? There's a huge lot of information there, I can't just dump it all on the forum^^ As for connections on the pc, I've got a few usb connections, an e-sata one, and an hdmi connection too (yeaah I'd never spotted that one before, it could come handy... but what is hdmi for, exactly? I'm sorry, I'm a complete beginner in sound...) Thanks for your help @PooMan : I've tried that, but the only option there is Stereo  |

| | you are using a notebook not a desktop so my guess you only have a 3.5 connector as output? Last edited by brianzion; 30 Oct 2010 at 09:19 AM.. Reason: error |
