A colleague of mine has just bought a Dimension 5000, with it he bought a
set of Dell surround sound speakers. The speakers have colour coded
connectors connecting to the PC, they actually connect the PC direct to the
amplifier/sub woofer unit, then the speakers each connect to this as well.
We connected up the PC as per the colour coding, it doesn't have a separate
sound card, so connected to the jacks that use the onboard sound. We set
the speaker system system to 5.1 in Windows XP (via Control Panel/Sounds
and Audio Settings/Advanced Audio Properties).
Problem is only getting sound out through the front left and right
speakers. Does anyone how to make 5.1 work with a Dimension 5000 and
onboard sound?
Thanks
