How can I watch DVD movies on my laptop with surround sound?
Can you please tell as how to connect my laptop to creative 5.1 speaker system so that I can hear surround sound from DVDs.
If you want to watch DVD movies on your laptop and experience full surround sound on 5.1 or 7.1 speakers, you’ll have to use a special sound card for notebook computers. For example, take a look at Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA notebook sound card. You plug this card into the PCMCIA slot you your laptop and then connect 5.1 or 7.1 speakers. You can find this card on the Internet for less than $100.
Just make sure your laptop meets all hardware requirements for the sound card.

When listening to music or playing games or anything else like that my system sound is more than exceptional. Louder than I need usually but not overly exhausting. However, when I try to watch movies the sound is almost inaudable. I’ve done the sound settings & everything there is max.
thanks for your time

Hi Milbo:
I am having the same problem with mine. Do you have an HP? I have on with Blu-ray, and I have to have speakers, or I simply cannot hear a thing. Did you find a solution? I did not yet. Let me know, if you have heard somthing on how to fix this. Thanks!!!
