In the "Design Overview" of the Dell Inspiron 1720 on Dell.ca, it clearly says that the 1720 is capable of 7.1 channel sound without a matrix decoder. Frankly, I don't believe this, however if anyone out their has recieved their 1720, please post to confirm my theory, or just vote in the poll.

Why does this have to be a poll there is only going to be one answer.
You do know that you can post a thread without always making it a poll , right ? -
I think it would be done via software.

sesshomaru Suspended Disbelief!
For 7.1 channel sound, four 3.5 mm stereo jack outputs are required. Unless Dell means it's output through a SPDIF or optical interface, if it exists on the laptop.

:laugh: :wub:
Dell has no idea themselves....
Seriously though - if it does not come with three/four speaker outputs, it does not have 7.1, period.
Of course,you can do 5.1 passthrough to SPDIF as mentioned (or at least I assume you can, as you could with the e1705). But that won't work for games, only DVDs. -
Well that's just great on Dell's part (as usual). Misinforming people is quite serious, especially if someone ends up purchasing the 1720 with 7.1 channel audio being a factor. I don't know if that can be reason to file a lawsuit... lol.

You can output 7.1 through the spdif no problem.
But if you want steller multi channel sound...pony up for the SB Card that goes into the mini slot...about $75. Much better for games and movies. Plan of getting one for my I9300.... -
