Do you have a 5.1 card in your laptop?

If not, maybe you can probably get a PCMCIA 5.1 card.

I have the Soundblaster Live external USB 5.1 sound card. It takes the 5 speakers and the sub-woofer. Great sound from it.

It was around 60 Euro, I think Argos actually do it now.

Hmm, I wonder if the X-Fi series come in USB/Laptop card format.

I must investigate, looking for a bit more oomph out of my system too.
