    I'm sorry if this is old news, but I discovered something thats not in the manual for 5.1 audio output.
    When you set the Notebook to 5.1, the 3 3.5mm inputs on the side change functions.
    The headphone port remains the left & right, but the microphone ports becomes the sub & center channel, and the line-in port becomes the left surround and right surround.
    I don't know why this was left out of the manual, but thats how it works.

    Its like this on my Desktop too, but I didn't know about the Notebook. I thought the 5.1 was some virtual surround sound.
