Is that possible? I have a set of Creative Labs 4.1 surround sound speakers that I bought for a low cost 4.1 sound card I had lying around. Needless to say after about a year, the card has died. No biggie really.
If I get this card (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=29-102-165&DEPA=0), will it work with my speakers?
I haven't really been able to find a good 4.1 surround sound card, and really I don't want another. Someday I will upgrade these speakers to the 5.1 or bigger.

Yes it will work. You could then plug headphones into the last 2 channels if you want, or some older speakers or something.

That's just one mono channel - centre output.

You could get that one that was specially adapted for Mr Spock,

You know, the one for the final front ear. :rolleyes:

It's behind you on the back of your chair.
Please be quick because your normal level-headedness appears to have deserted you and you're at risk of turning 'numpty'
