    Hi all,

    In fact, i have owned M17x for about 2 months, and i feel that a sound card 5.1 is not that loud like my old Toshiba Qosmio X505 which fits with harman/kardon stereo speakers.. Anyone notice that!

    The only thing I would have like the option to change is the sound card. It would have been a perfect 11 out of 10 if it had a SoundBlaster X-Fi on-board. The current sound card sounds nice, but it’s not made for full on gaming.


    Does anybody know if i am able to upgrade my current sound card?
    Many thanks

    Internally? No.

    But you can buy the Soundblast cards that fit into the slots on your side, whichs name totally escapes me right now.
