Hi, this should be the final thread concerning this laptop. As I mentioned earlier, it has 2.1 speakers, a built-in microphone and the following connectors: - headphone out - microphone in; can be switched to center/lfe out - spdif out; can be switched to rear speaker out - line in; can be switched to side speaker out pavucontrol offers more options, some of which seem superfluous. In the output devices tab, you can pick from analog speakers, analog output and analog headphones (last 2 seem the same). In the input devices tab, you can pick microphone 1, microphone 2 and linear input. While it seems technically right (I don't have an external mic here to test), could it be possible to rename them to internal and external mic? #2 is the internal one. Finally, the profiles in the Configuration tab do not seem to reflect that the machine is capable of up to 7.1 sound. I have - analog stereo duplex - analog stereo output - digital stereo output (iec598) and analog stereo input - digital stereo duplex (iec598) - analog stereo input - off in there. This seems to be completely off what windows offers, so I hope the information I provided will be enough to fix the profiles. Otherwise, I am happy to provide more data. Regards, Julian
