Virtual surround sound - Acer Aspire 6920 Notebook PC

This issue can be caused by multiple problems. You could have intermittent DC Offset(a damaged amplifier), a microprocessor(computer inside your sound bar), poor solder connections, and on and on. You're absolutely correct. This is not a DIY type of repair. If you're interesting in having it repaired, please visit my website, at audioserviceclinic.com. You may contact me there. Thank you.

Per il tasto surround, sempreché non sia un danno hardware, prova a reinstallare drivers: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_6920G.html

Per il problema delle SD Card, verifica che il lettore SD sia elencato in Hardware del Pannello di Controllo. Se non lo è, il problema è di driver oppure grosso guaio hardware (improbabile). Se lo è, potrebbe essere un problema con la scheda SD (prova con un'altra), o semplicemente sporco il contatto all'interno del lettore, che può pulire con aria compressa o inserendo/disinserendo la scheda SD poche volte.

you have to download a drive for your virtuall sound!
your previous drive is deleted because of reinstalling.

The rear speakers will only activate when there is sufficient surround sound signal being sent to them by the software, therefore if you are not hearing anything in the rear speakers at the time there is no "surround" signal being sent to the speakers. There is usually some virtualization / spatial settings you can set in the control panel of the card, that will help simulate surround and send some signal to the rear, expecially in winamp, or media player.

sounds like you need to surround modes. There is usually a Stereo, Dolby, DTS, "virtual surround", 4-speaker mode etc..
When you play a CD or connect to TV it likely defaults to playing stereo or virtual surround.

With real surround, almost all of the voices are coming from the center-channel speaker (normally placed closest to the TV).

Also, check to make sure the center channel is connected properly.

I had the same issue, but apparently...it's not an issue. What I discovered is that the system was fine, but the station I was watching didn't broadcast in 5.1 surround sound. Therefore, only the front speakers will have sound. Try putting a dvd in, or listening to a gameing system through it. If you don't have sound after listening to something that puts out full surround sound, then you know you have an issue.

i have the acer 6920g notebook and had windows 7 installed and cant get my virtual surround sound working can you give me any clues. thanks

to get the digital you have to have the digital optical line or the coax rca jack digital audio connection from device to stereo reciever to get the dolby digital surround sound to work , otherwise you can only get a virtual surround sound from the reciever( no dolby digital )

you have to have it set to one of the sound settings to get surround sound , and if what you have hooked up does not have a digital connection ( optical or coax) you can not get dolby digital surround either
if it is the stereo your listening to then set a sound to get virtual surround sound ( unless you have a digital tuner that supports digital signal input

if the unit has no digital dvd 5,1 input it will not play 5.1 output, unless the unit is switched into a virtual surround mode(theatre/etc) mode try with a new dvd film with a digital glassfiber cabel if it shows 5.1 on the display of the receiver. if it shows 5.1 digital surround than the end stage of your surround is blown and needs to be replaced
