Then not without using something like Virtual Audio Cable program to allow dual audio output streams to different devices. Not really sure if you will gain anything by running both speakers at once. You will have some messed up stereo separation if you run all 4 speakers.

Hi!! thanks for your comment. i would like to use comapanion 20's as the rear speakers and use companion 5 as front, center and bass. For better surround sound system. Here's an example of what i wanna do ... but he connected bose companion 3 with companion 2.

And does your sound card have independent front/rear ports you can use? Either way, you would need to get 3.5mm connectors for that.
