    Hey Guys!
    I have a m15x for 3 days now and tried today to watch a movie.. i have a logitech z-5500 5.1 soundsystem and a TOSLINK (SPDIF) cable with a plastic-"3,5 klinke adapter"..
    because on my old notebook i can change the sound-reproducer from speaker to spdif..
    how can i do that on the m15x? is it even possible???
    if not... how would i get 5.1 sound?

    hoping for some hlep :)

    my response won't be too helpful so I am sorry for that!

    I am pretty sure that the sound card within the M15x is capable of producing 5.1 surround. I remember seeing this somewhere when I was flirting with purchasing 5.1 headphones or stereo (went stereo). I am sure with a proper audio software you can figure it out. You can always call tech support and get your answer there.

    Sorry i can't be of more help.
