Try Advanced setting under Volume tab under Sound/Audio in Control Panel. You should see a dropdown selection there. One of the choices/settings is for 5.1.

Re: Dell Vostro & 5.1 Surround sound

I don't think i explained... lol

Laptop soundcards only support steroe sound, obviously 2.1, because thats as much as those jacks hold, is it possible to get good quality USB or PCI-E 5.1 sound cards? (Note:not imitate 5.1 sound)
