I've discovered that the audio on my new Aspire XC-885 seems to be only stereo (2.0). I have tried updating the Realtek driver and checked all the cabling but my centre and sub-woofer make no noise.
Can someone tell me if this PC really does have 5.1 audio as advertised or in fact only 2.0 and this cannot be changed.
