I have Win XP SP2 installed . I am having Acer 5500 with Intel 915GM motherboard.
RealTek Audio AC97 drivers ....

I am having Philips 5.1 speakers ......

I have updated all the newest drivers from Intel site as well as realtek ..My prob is that when I play any mp3 song woofer is not giving any sound and sound is coming through 4 speakers only :mad:....

I have selected 5.1 Speaker surround sound in windows in CTRL Panel still no use :mad:

PLease Help !!

PS: This woofer works very fine in Ubuntu 8.10 :confused:

Have you tried the drivers from the acer site?
*support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_5500.html
Try updating the chipset and soundcard driver from there if your notebook is Aspire 5500.
