WTB: 5.1 Sound Card

[cidley69]

Looking for a sound card that will do 5.1 output. I hava set of Logitech 5.1 speakers, (sub, 5 speakers) that i need something to plug them into.

The plug looks almost like a monitor shap plug.

Can someone recommend a sound card that will work for me?

you can get an OEM SB Audigy 7.1 for $30 at mem ex. If all you're looking for is basic output, this card will be fine.

Yeah, but that one doesn't have the connector he specified that he wanted. Is this Audigy 2 ZS what you're looking for?

:dunno:

ur rite in that if it was the x530 set, it plugs into analog (3 different 3.5mm female)

Yeah, its the Logitech X-530 set, so i need the 3 different 3.5mm female plug in on a soundboard.

i was just wondering what the other multi pin plug was on the bag of the sub.


so, OEM SB Audigy 7.1 for $30 at mem ex

will work for me?

The big plug on the woofer is for your front right speaker, the one with the volume control on it. The back of that speaker has the 3 wires that go to your soundcard or onboard sound.

Does your motherboard have onboard sound? If so, you might not need a soundcard although you will notice an improvement in sound quality and possibly computing power if you get one.

Here's the instruction manual for the speakers in case you're missing yours:
