Is this Sony capable of 5.1 playback?
if it is go Start/Conrol Panel/Sounds and audio devices
on the first tab click advanced and change the speaker setup to 5.1
if not then you will need to buy a laptop audio card that is capable of 5.1 playback
You will need 3 outbound connectors
Front
Surrounds
Subwoofer/Center
I just recently bought some logic tech 5.1 speakers x530 to hook up to my sony vio laptop I have sound from the front speaker and single speaker but the rear speakers I get a very low sound how do I turn the microphone volume up, becuase i think that is the problem. Cause the volume on them is set to very low and the change switch is locked
