    If you do not have a digital output device attached to your laptop, then you won't hear anything. You need to switch it to the default hardware on your laptop, instead.

    Hi
    I have the same laptop, according to the manual there should be an option for "realtek digital output", from which I can modify dolby output, and not require any other equipment. Instead, all I have is "realtek digital output (optical)" which presumbly would require additional equipment.

    How do I get dolby working then, or not have the optical only setting.

    hi i am sitting in the shop where i purchased the acer laptop 1720 and windows xp home edition.
    we are trying to finx the audio problem. The thing is i can hear the sound in realteks setting window where u check the sound systems. But in windows media player there is no sound.
