Could you go back and clean up your post? I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what your problem is. Proper sentence structure will really help in getting your point across and finding help to your problem.

 

to put it simple,the sound doent come out right,with front left/right and centre/sub jack plugin=no bass,with only front left/right or only centre/sub plugin=bass come out

 

get Sound Blasters THX x-fi usb. it plugs into the usb and you connect your speakers through that. It sounds alot better than the IDT sound card. It's only $40. Just another option you can do.

 

thanks you very much,but the price i paid for this crap and cant get what worth the money made me pissed

 

realgamers use headsets ;p

and dell soundcard is just terrible even if it had all the ports.

(i actualy got a razer headset that needs the 5.1input wich the laptop doesnt have so got a razer megalodon to solve that problem)

But yeh if u pay top dollar for a laptop like this u would expect atleast a wee bit of a decent audiochip.

 

i dont agree with "real gamer use headsets" part,i prefer speakers,and i totally agree with paying top dollar and get dissappointed.....and i got the mobo/spdif prolem with this also,lucky me

 

silentmoon, 5.1 setups don't work right with the stock sound card.

You can first try and reinstall the IDT drivers and software to make sure it isn't an issue.

If you're still not satisfied with your sound, a USB sound card will solve your issues. Like Joey said above, the X-fi usb is a cheap but decent solution. There are others that cost a bit more out there too

 

thanks all guys,today i dont know why,but my jack suddenly working perfectly,the bass come out right,heavy and strong,i really dont know what happen

 

creative > logitech

I found out the hard way.

 

Damn straight dude......
