Solved! Can a 5.1 speaker system work on a stereo motherboard?

[thelonewolf20]

Hello, I really need your help. I have a Logitech Z506 5.1 surround sound system but the motherboard I am interested in buying which is the ASROCK A320m-Hdv AM4 only has 3 ports which is the Mic port (pink), Audio out (green) and line in (blue). However, the Logitech z506 5.5 speaker system has a black, orange and green cables. My question is, if I was to only connect the green cable of the speakers to the green port of the motherboard would I at least be able to get 2.0 stereo sound? I am not interested in buying a sound card just yet because I am working with a really tight budget.

If you only connect the green cable, you should get stereo sound. However, if you refer to Pg 11 of your motherboard's User's Manual you will see that you can utilize up to a 7.1 surround sound system.

Thank you so much for your help! I did in fact take a look at the manual but I just wanted to know if the stereo option could work also
