    I am trying to use both audio outputs in the same time with my M1330.
    I just got two Dell sound bars and I want to use them. Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit edition.

    When I plug into two audio devices, sound only comes from one output.

    Current setup is the following.
    2x 23'' S2309W screens. (one on HDMI one on VGA)
    2x Dell Sound bars AX510PA

    In control panel> sounds
    In speaker setup, I do not have the option to put surround.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Plug one jack into the first, one in the last, leaving the middle one empty. The reconfiguration popup should ask you for confirmation of the config.. That is, of course, assuming that you have the right drivers installed.

    If you haven't, look here.
    I have used upto build 6224.. Anything above that, you'll have to try on your own.

    If you don't have the Soundblaster software enabled audio but do have the IDT HD audio, go to that application to set your audio up. Windows sucks when it comes to setting the audio (very basic). I found my application for IDT audio, and there are a heck of a lot more settings to tweak the sounds, levels, balance, output, etc. After making those adjustments, that sound is pure, crisp and clean. :)
