5.1 Sound from notebook PC?

[98 SNAKE EATER]

Not sure if this belongs here or in the mobile computing forum, so mods please move if you feel necessary....


Anyhoo, I have a Toshiba P25-S676 desktop replacement notebook....


It supposedly has a 5.1 sound card already installed, but it only has a headphone jack output


How do I connect my 5.1 system?

did it come with any adapters or anything? maybe there's a dongle you have to use somewhere.

Didn't come with any adaptors and the stupid guide doest say jack $h!t about connecting to 5.1


I did a search and someone posted in a review that in order to take advantage of the 5.1 system, I need to pickup a Toslink adaptor, but I've never even seen a Toslink nor do I have any units that use Toslink cables

Weird. I would contact toshiba and see if they can help you out. Might just be a few bucks to get it working.....they might just send you the part for free if it was advertised to have 5.1 sound they way it is. Good luck!
