    Anyone else with a Dell Studio and the SRS Premium Surround Sound speaker notice that the bass and general speaker quality is skys and above better when listening on Ubuntu Lucid vs. Windows?

    I'm using Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 and don't notice that much of a difference. I don't think my little "subwoofer" really works on the bottom of my laptop though. The speakers (as a whole) are by far and away much, much better than any other laptop I have owned. Very loud and clear coming from a laptop. If I could get a better indication that the little speaker at the bottom was really working that would be great!
