i have just bought the above laptop, and am having an issue of connecting it to the surround sound on my TV. My old laptop worked fine with surround sound and ive connected the existing lead that i know works, straight into the audio jack of the HP but cant seem to get any sound output through my surround sound. I can get sound via the HDMI lead through my TV speakers.

Any advice on settings etc. that may resolve this?

UPDATE!!!

I have managed to get the surround sound working (sometimes) if I plug the audio lead in BEFORE the hdmi lead it seems to give me surround sound most of the time, however if I plug the hdmi in first I can only get sound through the TV...any explanation?
