Solved! How can I connect my 5.1 speakers to my PC?

[kourades26]

Hello there.

I am gonna ask something silly but I'm really bad at these things...
So I found my old 5.1 speakers - Logitech G51 - and I want to use them in my PC on my motherboard.
My motherboard is Asus B350 Prime Plus.

The problem is that it only has 3 audio outputs in the back which are not enough.

Do I need a 5.1 sound card or is there another way to make it work?

Thank you

you need only 3 Audio outputs at motherboard back one is for your Front and Right Channel thats the Green one i think
the orange one should be for the woofer and Center and the Black one for Rear SPeakers Color May be different for you

I have done everything right, every color matches except that my motherboard has a "blue" and I connect an orange to that.

However only 3 speakers are working in 5.1 configuration through realtek audio manager

The blue audio jack is a stereo input not an output. You will need a soundcard to get 5.1.

I see... Can I use 2.1 with a subwoofer or do I need an audio card for those as well? I found cheap Logitech Z333 which are decent...
