Problem:

 

Hi i just bought this computer from del and im using a Logitec Z-5500 digital surround 5.1 setup. Iv'e connected all the right cables in the right spot both Tower and "surround control unit", and for some reason the computer will not reconigse it. The only way for it to work is insert the front speakers jack into the headphone port on the computer.. is there any programs or settings that can be adjusted to fix the problem.

 

Cheers

normally if you are using the front audio ports, there have been jumper changes within the sound card (or onboard sound).

 

You should look up the manual at Dell or call someone at Dell and ask them how to make it work (or find out which audio unit is on the board or in the pc and then look up the jumper settings for enabling/disabling front audio ports)
