Only if...Your laptop has 6 channel analog...(and if whatever this sound system is...has 6 channel) OrMini-toslink.retaeht said:Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure my surround system has HDMI (it's about 10 years old), is there any other way?
The only way to know that...What computer is this since we can't give you any answers what so ever, without knowing.Mac?PC on Vista? 7? 8?What is this sound system?retaeht said:When I tried it earlier with PC->TV->5.1 there seemed to be a difference between what was happening in front left speaker and back left speaker, but wasn't noticeable when listening to whole set-up (used VLC, didn't work with Windows Media Player) and the sound settings on laptop were stereo (can't change to 5.1). Could there actually be a way around having to buy more equipment?
In your sound settings...You have "Internal speakers"HDMI "Some setting for headphone" The "some setting for headphone", is one them optical?retaeht said:HP G71 Windows 7.
There should be a model number plaque on the back.If this is a HTiB, it probably only deciphers 2.0 pcm and 5.1 DD.retaeht said:I'm not sure what sound system it is, the logo is worn off and I bought it 10 years ago. I'll check later if it has HDMI but I highly doubt that it does.
