I need to plug in some more speakers!

How do i open my audio driver, or whatever it's called? I know i use realtek but i cant find it anywhere.

go to control panel/ all control panel items, it should be under ' Realtek HD audio manager '

Can you take a screenshot?

I cant find it. It isn't there.

Your motherboard has the Realtek ALC662 HD chip on it, and from the sounds of things you don't have the Realtek driver installed,

1. You can't find the Realtek control panel

2. Only one of the jacks works, which is what happens when it is using the default driver that Windows installs

Might be a good idea to grab the latest diver for it,

Latest Realtek HD Audio Driver Version

and then see what works and what doesn't.

Allright i've found another way to change the sound thing to 5.1, and i've done it. I just went into sound in control panel and there i could manage RealTek. But when i test it in RealTek the sub works. But then, when i play music in Windows media player or FL Studio no sound comes from the sub.

I've tried to download the one for Vista and Win7 32 and 64bit and i've tried the one just for 64bit.

The contents of this file can not be unpacked blah, blah... Just look at the screenshot.

Realtek and their 28.8 k servers (are they even that fast?) strike again. Try it from here,

Hi dj , for me i run my pc through a home theatre amp therefor allowing me to have surround including sub bass i use one 3.5 output jack from pc that splits to two phono jacks to amp .

Where can i get such a home theatre amp?

Hi there

Whilst not the cheapest -- what about Bang and Olufsen -- World class both in design and performance -- at a price of course and 100% DANISH.

However to get back to more realistic price ranges as previous posters have said any decent electrical / computer outlets will have what you need -- although these days pretty well ANY computer mobo has a decent enough sound system to drive a 5.1 or even a 7.1 speaker system.
