Hi, I have a very limited knowledge about computers but one thing I do know is that I need some new speakers. I found some I like which are these
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-...LCMK4/ref=sr_11_1/026-4825589-7093230?ie=UTF8
which I think are 5.1 speakers. I understand that this means you need some kind of a driver in order to use all of the speakers. I have a laptop (Asus M5N) which has an internal sound card driver thing of some kind, which is a Soundmax Integrated Audio 5.12.01.4010 - is there any way I can tell whether this is 5.1 compatible?
I don't want to have to buy a new soundcard. When I looked on the soundmax website, it seemed to say that if I used a codec AD1980 then I would be able to use 5.1, however, I could not figure out where to get this codec from (or whether it was a physical thing, or a downloadable thing (which is what I had assumed it would be, having downloaded codecs in the past)).
I hope my question makes vague sense. I would be really grateful for some help with what is probably an incredibly dumb question.
Many many thanks in advance
Jane
