    Finally unpacked my 5.1 Surroundsound system of the brand Logitech. When I insert the cables everything seems ok, and it works just fine. I just remember when I had Windows Vista when I plugged in the cables I would get a popup which notified me what the different cables were connected.
    Was wondering if anyone knows what that application is called?
    I hope that you understand what I mean, my English is limited and so is my vocabulary.

    Just found another problem, when I plug the 3 cables into the computer (Yellow, Black, Green) Yellow being the one that is the closest, and green being in the what appears is the microphone input, I only get the rear speakers. When I then switch to (Black, Yellow, Green) I only have the front speakers.
    Would be very grateful if someone could help me figure out how to manage to get all the speakers working.

    Hi mate,
    You need the audio drivers from Dell's website.
    You can download them here. The application is called SigmaTel and it comes with the drivers.
