Question:
5.1 Sound For Laptops?
Hi I just bought a logitech surround sound system.{5300 E 5.1 inputs from three jacks}. I was wondering if there would be any way to output 5.1 from my lap top [p 30}. If there is such a gizmo that could plug into usb. Dolby pro logic doesn't cut it any more. Thanks Mike

Uh sorry, I am such a noob. Turns out all I need is a External sound card. However I am going to pick one up. I'll post what I got and if it works.

The Creative Audigy 2 Notebook is a great notebook sound card, I recommend that. I've seen it for $75 or less, depends on the store. Those types of deals are usually online.

"and rated as creatives best soundcard for notebooks"
If you consider the USB cards as non-notebook specific, the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is the ONLY creative soundcard for notebooks... :p
