does the laptop specification or user manual mention that it can support 5.1 playback ?
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-034198.htm 2-channel audio The green line out jack, located on the back panel, is designed to power either headphones or amplified speakers only. Poor audio quality can occur if passive, non-amplified, speakers are connected to this output. 6-channel audio The back panel audio jacks support up to six speakers and are retaskable using the audio controller interface. Audio jack retasking is a feature that allows a jack to support more than one function. For example, the pink audio jack can support microphone input when the system configuration is set to stereo mode, 2-channel, and as Center/LFE or Rear Surround, when set to 6-channel mode. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254287 Title: [LG S1-P331P, ALC880, Speaker] Speaker do not work after using headphones To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1254287/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
