Upgrading sound in T6x

[swiftrhett]

What is the best way to upgrade the soundcard and speakers? Is that possible? The sound in my old T40p is terrible. I'm about to get a T60p or T61.

Thanks!

It is not possible to "upgrade" the sound card or the speakers on the T60.

While you cannot replace your built in soundcard, you can hook up an external USB soundcard, or a PCMCIA soundcard.

never heard of it.... maybe compact external speakers.... lenovo has 2 options... check the site

My recommendation:
Echo Indigo IO/DJ PCMCIA sound card + Hifi headphones (>$100).

This is a great soundcard for those with an ExpressCard slot: http://www.creative.com/products/produc ... duct=10769

This is good as well for those with a PCMCIA slot: http://www.creative.com/products/produc ... duct=10769

m-audio makes some amazing external soundcards. But this external soundcard needs to be plugged into an AC outlet.

If I were the OP, I'd look into PCMCIA card which features the Audigy chipset. Keep in mind that it will use a little bit of the battery. Other than that it should be a big step up from the onboard sound.

How about S/PDIF on one of the docking stations, I the T60p/T61 already has a sound card that supports HD audio so you can hook it up to your digital receiver or amplifier. Certainly not the cheapest way but it could one of the best options as what the OP wanted to know.
