woowoo
there are 2 or 3 (can't remember) headphone-type jack (3.5mm jacks).
all of these have got to be plugged into your sound card so...
you need a 5.1 channels soundcard...
OR (this is what i did)
a 3.5mm jack splitter. You plug the 3.5mm jack into your computer then plug the speakers into this adaptor thing that splits teh signal into 3 signals.
Well I do have that 5.1 because I have 5 channels in the back. 3 jacks are getting plugged in there a yellow, black and green... SO what should I do
woowoo
make sure they are all enabled first of all.
then you gotta use a music program that can support them all....
most would probably just require a little tinkering around in teh options.
as a test, if u have a dvd rom drive, is to play a dvd and see if all speakers will play something.
How do I make sure they are all enabled? I mean what should I test
ok so im going to head to Radio Shack to see if they have a 3.5mm jack splitter is that correct?
.
Have you installed the correct sound drivers for your motherboard or sound card?
If so, you need to go into Sound and Audio Devices in control panel, there may be a speaker setup option in there, or you may have a separate setup program. Default setting is usually for 2 speakers, you need to change this to get all the speakers working.
.Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
woowoo
ya it's right but you should first try what lynx said. getting the 5.1 sound to work would be better...Originally posted by Mrguy123@21 July 2004 - 14:18

hmm im thinking about getting this audio system....but i only have a Asus P4C800E - Deluxe and no separate sound card....i read that this mb's supposed to support a 5.1 channel is this true? because i only see 3 jacks total in the back....and if it does work, do i need a new sound card for it to sound good? is it gonna be really crappy if i use the onboard sound?? oh and to anyone who has it, how is the sound quality?? is it clear and is the bass a good quality with big thump?? thx
Ok i had this issue too. The prob was with my mobo, Asus P4P800-E Deluxe. (which i use for sound). I opened up the sound settings (a program that came with my mobo), and had to enable all the speakers. By default it was set to only use 2 speakers and the sub. Now works in 5.1 surround. Take a look around for a similar setting with your soundcard/mobo.
