What are you expecting to happen?!

[tesco]

im guerssing music would come out of the speakers and you would be unhappy becuase you were expecting something else.

i was thinking i would fry my sound card

No it wouldn't.
Your speaker systems are externally powered.
Your sound card is merely providing a signal which the speaker's amp then works with.

The sound card has no idea, and couldn't care less, how many speakers you hook to it.

omg why would you bother, get a real surround system and watch it on a tv lol, much better picture , besides how many movies are in 7.1 ? not many at all, ( except a few in the usa ) , like most of the world we are lucky to get 6.1 movies

speaking of which:

anyone have the latest issue of maximumPC? they reviewed a speakerset from an almost unknown company, and they sed it was comparable to one of their "kickass products"...
























until both the satellites blew a fuse and literally started to smoke. the error wasnt a defect either! it was with ALL speakers from the brand!
