    i didnt get the upgrade sound card when i bought the dell e1505. Will i be able to use 5.1 speakers on it? 2.1? or can i only get 2.0? How do i find out what my sound card is capable of and is soundcards upgradable?
    thx

    The sound card is not upgradeable, so you'll have to either buy a USB 5.1 dongle, or an express card setup to power your 5.1.

    There is no 2.1 output - you only have stereo headphone out. Though with an adapter you can get 5.1 digital (S/PDIF) from DVDs (but not games).
