    With G701vi you get only two minijack outputs. So how to connect 5.1 speaker which hace 3 minijack inputs? All the 70x and 80x have diffrent chasis design with no ODD drive and two minijacks, difrrent from G75x when you get ODD and 3 minijack outs.

    Or there is diffrent way to connect 5.1 speaker to G701vi? I would not like to chane my 5.1 set 'cause G701vi need digital out or usb c connection to speakers.

    A 5.1 capable USB sound card would probably do the trick.

    That is just great. G75x model had the ability to connect 5.1 speaker and G70x does not have this. Is this model is supposed to be worse?

    You should be able to get 7.1 and 5.1 surround with a setting change in the Realtek audio manager with the single audio cable.
