Pavilion 7170ea audio problems

Archived from groups: comp.sys.hp.hardware (More info?)

Hi there!

I've just got a brand new HP Pavilion ZD7170ea. Wonderful laptop,
wonderful screen, very fast processor but...
I'm very disappointed about audio. It does have Harman/Kardon speakers,
but the audio card is a Conexant AC-Link.
I haven't found any application for this card.
A friend of mine has just bought a Pavilion series 5000, and has got a
kind of surround system made from just the two internal speakers.
Now, since I think this is just a software surround, any of you know
where to find an audio application for the Conexant AC-Link that could
make the same?

Thanks for help.
