Right off the assembly line
Hello All,
this is my first post to this forum.
I have HP 630 laptop (win 7, GB RAM, i3 huron river) and it has two slots - speaker and mic.

Now I want to connect a 5.1 speaker system which Five Satellite Speakers, One Subwoofer.
1. is there any way to reuse virtually the two slots as audio output - but then again, the 5.1 system has 3 audio jacks whereas my laptop has 2 slots.

2. Use usb 5.1 sound card.

Please suggest and advice.
Thanks in advance.

waste of speaker system.for true 5.1 audio output either laptop must have s/pdif port(very few & expensive laptops have it like dell xps high end models) or buy a true 5.1 audio usb sound card which will cost ~4000 at least & even then its audio quality will be less or at most equal to similarly priced pci-e sound card.
