I'm guessing not but thought I'd ask. The crappy and very tinny speakers are the only issue I have with this laptop. Other than that, I love everything about it.
And the bluetooth on it works great, so its easy enough to stream audio to external speakers.
But wow, what crappy speakers.

Have you tried to see if you can use the dolby drivers from a T420s?
Check
out Lenovo's forum.
I know it works on a T/W520, I can't recall if I did the mod on a W530.

Thank you saucey! I didn't find Dolby drivers for my machine, but I installed the official Realtek drivers and its a world of difference.
For anyone in the same boat, when I had the tinny audio my soundcard was appearing as "High Definition Audio" in Win7's Device Manager. Now it appears as "Realtek High Definition Audio" and it has a nice full sound.
I installed the driver from Lenovo's site:

The driver file is named gga109ww.exe.
