Hello,

I need some help on how to connect my home theather sound system to my PC, currently I've connected it with a single 3.5 audio to RCA adapter and not every speaker is working.

Here are the connections to my motherboard:

Here are the connections to my home theater sound system:

Would this adapter be enough or i need to buy some kind of external sound card?

That's because the Panasonic can only accept stereo signal.

You should be able to "switch on" the other speakers though by using the Panasonic's Simulated Surround modes however.

TRUE surround can only be played by the DVD, that's a limitation of these Home Theater boxes.
First off, the Mobo only has 3 audio jacks and no toslink, those signs suggest no surround out from this puppy. Read the manual for sure, but if that's the case you need a sound card or a USB-based sound dongle.

Second, your receiver, whoosh, nothing we Yanks recognize, seems to have the european scart connector, does it even do 5.1? I want to see a DOLBY SURROUND label on the front panel. The absence of even a SUB OUT jack suggests this puppy doesn't do 5.1. But if you can link the PDF, I will go into the trouble of look it up for you
