    Is there some program to give me better sound output? I plugged my speakers into my lappy and the sounds isnt very good. The sound coming from my Dell DJ sounds better than my lappy. :(

    No real programs, keep the driver update is one.

    If it all fails, buy a sound card.

    Laptop sound cards aren't that good. This is a common problem due to the nature of laptops. Like Cori said, if you want better sound get a USB sound card or PCMCIA sound card.

    I have the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, and the sound is so much better compared to my notebook sound card.

    I played with the equalizer in WMP and with my subwoofer. It's better and will have to do.
