    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if anyone here uses a 5.1 headset on their Clevo/Sager. I've got an NP8150, using a CM Storm Sirus S 5.1 headset right now, but funny enough, the Mic-In also works as the Center/Subwoofer Out.

    Is there any way (besides getting an external sound card) to make the centre/subwoofer work on a different outlet, say, the S/PDIF/Side speakers jack?

    Was just curious as to whether anyone knows if its even possible.

    Thanks.

    I also thought that'd be nice, but no.

    Damn it, here's hoping the shop I bought this headset from will accept a return.

    i have a 5.1 ch headset as well, the tritton ax pro's, and ran into the same problem. i eventually just took apart the mic that came with rosetta stone, and soldered the mic wires into it. now i just have the three 3.5mm plugs and a usb plug for the mic, it works great. but i assume you could buy a small mic input usb dongle and that could work just as well.
