How do I connect my Logitech X-540 speakers to my laptop and get full capability of 5.1 surround sound?
Ive got two headphone jacks and a microphone jack will this work or is there some sort of soundcard adaptor you can buy that connects 3 wires into one?
Please help
Thanks
I just opened my Realtek HD Audio settings and clicked on 5.1 sound.. then assigned the different ports.
Make sure you have the latest audio driver update for your soundcard, and go through the software options, it'll be there somewhere..
If you think you might have a RealTek soundcard, you can find newest Realtek HD audio drivers here:

Has XP support too. Install and reboot, then the 'red' realtek volume icon should appear in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
You'll find the settings manager in there.
Good Luck

Actually that setup is best for my current setup. But before the driver I was using was the Realtek R1.50. I've just reinstalled it again.You might have to uninstall your driver
and then install this older one - I didn't have to i just installed it
over the newer one, restarted my pc and when I was back in windows went
into the Realtek Audio Manager and set my stuff to 6 channel and
everything worked fine. - I think the trade-off on this is you might
lose some of the features especially if you have a newer chipset, but you'll be able to set up 5.1!
Maybe you should use this one, mate:

If at first you don't succeed.. etc.
Let me know how you get on.
