I'm trying to hook up a 5.1 surround sound system to my computer. After realizing that I couldn't simply use an aux cord, I consulted my computer manual and found this section on surround sound:
"To setup your system for 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound you will need to connect the audio cables to the Line-In, Headphone-Out, Microphone-In and S/PDIF-Out jacks (7.1 speaker only)"
What I don't understand is how I connect my speakers, which have speaker wire running out of them, to the stereo mini jacks in my computer. I'm pretty inexperienced with this stuff, but I can provide further specs if needed.
