I posted an e-Mail regarding this topic around 18 hours ago, the email
has been bouncing ever since <smile>. so I’ll try again.
The question was, could analogue 2.1 speaker systems be connected to a
5.1 channel sound card?
Usually the case is yes given that most 5.1 or greater channel sound
cards have analogue outputs thus will accept an analogue 2.1 speaker
system which only requires the connection of the standard front left and
right channel.
I’m buying another sound card which I’ll detail in my next email, it has
outputs for the standard analogue speakers - line-out - as well as
outputs for read, centre and SBW speakers so you can fully customise the
system..
On the other hand - if you want to skip all of that and make things
plain and simple - then perhaps you might just get some speakers that
plug directly into the USB connection of your computer, the Logitech Z20
I think they’re called, I bought half a dozen pairs of these last year,
worth every bit of $20 per pair.
For their size they sound very nice, excellent audio quality for speech
and not too bad for music.
Bowers And Wilkins have a similar pair - similar meaning that they too
connect to a USB connection - but they sound a thousand times better
than the Logitech speaker system I described above, they cost somewhat
more too <smile> but a very worthwhile investment if you want sound
quality on your desktop.

Correct.Actually it's your video card that will. If there are actual
sound cards with HDMI ports this is news to me.

Oh yeah. You just use 1 jack is all. I wouldn't use them for 5.1,
I'd use
HDMI for that dude. This way you get full digital audio. Full crisp

audio.

Subject: sound Card question
Since many of the cards I see are at least for a 5.1 system, can I
still use
a 2.1 speaker system on any of these cards?
Thanks in advance.
