    For the duration of time I've owned this Alienware, I have not been able to get 5.1 surround sound working correctly. This may be because I have no idea what to plug in where. Everything I've tried has resulted in stereo, and I've tried changing the setting in IDT Audio, which sometimes also causes problems (unresponsiveness, muting sound, etc.).

    I've included an image of my cables, I was really hoping someone could tell me what I need to plug in, and where I need to do it. I.e. do I plug in the 3 cables, or use them with the adapter, etc.

    Cheers,
    Josh
