Adding more speakers to my PC. Is it possible?

[thenameismc]

Is there to hook up more than just the 5 speakers that I bought for my PC? I got a Logitech set up, but I want to buy maybe three more speakers so that I can have a true surround sound experience, but I can't seem to find a way to connect the extra speakers. IS there a way to add more speakers?

If you are running 5 speakers from your PC, then that would suggest to me that you may be running 5.1 surround sound? I would not recommend adding more speakers to this setup, as 1) the surround sound would be distorted and not sound correct , and 2) the built in amplifier would not be able to deal with the added load. Also it depends on the sound card. Is your sound output capable of running 7.1?

Thank you for your advice. Yes, I'm running 5.1 surround sound right now. Hmmm, I'm not sure if my sound card is capable of running 7.1. How can I go about finding out?

No probs, glad to help! You can check either in the instructions for your motherboard (if the sound card is built in) or check the details of the sound device in the device manager.

If your PC has a silver audio output jack that would be for side speakers.
