    Got this email from dell today suggesting the inspiron has 7.1 surround sound. Clicking the link doesn't explain anything. Anyone knows? I thought initially it was some Creative xpress card add on but the email states built-in.

    Through S/PDIF perhaps?

    the picture looks like its either the 1520 or 1720 or its variants. I've not read anywhere that these have 7.1 sound build in. this is just curious...

    I think the 7.1 output can be tapped out only using the SPDIF output obtained using the S-Video to Tv-out with S/PDIF adapter cable...
