    I am having problems with my audio -- only the "front left and right speakers" option seems to do anything on my laptop. If I enable any of the others (5.1 or 7.1), no sound comes out of the other speakers or the subwoofer, and it causes glitches in games that are attempting to utilize those sound channels (missing audio in places).

    Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    It's only 2.1 channel so you can't change it to 5.1 or 7.1.
    Also, try updating the audio driver to the latest version, and then run the self-test.

    Ah, yeah I discovered when I changed it back to stereo, I could feel the subwoofer vibrating. I guess that is why.

    I did already upgrade to the most recent Realtek driver though. Thanks for the reply :)
