    Hey there.

    When I'm using the laptop speakers, the audio options is set to "Surround Sound", and the same when I'm using headphones. But I noticed when I'm switching it to steroe when using headphones it is a huge differents. Much better quality and surround sound. When I unplug the headphones, I switch back to surround sound on the laptop speakers because it sounds better.

    But the only way to switch it to steroe is to go to the Acer eAudio management and double click the "movie" tab. I think it's weird Acer didn't make a headphone option =S

    Yeah you do. Especially when you have headphones on! In games you can hear the footsteps of the enemy much clearer when turning surround sound off. Kinda weird.

    If you go to control panel - Audio and then right click on the speakers and choose "propeties", and after that press "Dolby". Then you are able to make the bass louder and much more.
