Though it does make for a great soundcard to play the media through my amp/5.1 cinema system when i'm too lazy to transfer the content to a NAS drive and play through smart tv > dlna > nas. need to have it on my lap and at full blast to hear feel any surround sound effect. I love it but it's not a big deal and 5.1 surround sound speakers on a laptop.
When i'm having trouble hearing audio on movies, switch from the cinema experience type movie mode into Voice and it clears up the background noise to enable you to hear the speech audio better. They sure make use of sound system features, better equalizer settings to play with, makes different types of audio sound 'bettter' for the purpose.Įxample, the 3 default Presets are Music Voice Movie and switching between them shows a notable difference. I have 2 Beats edition 5.1sound laptops, i5 and i7
