How to get a true 5.1 surround sound from PC?

[Harshavardhan Ganesan]

I have a Philips 5.1 Home Theater (DS 30U) which I wanna

connect to my PC for encoding 5.1 surround music and to watch

HD movies from my PC.

I'm planning to buy a 5.1 Sound-card for my PC :

sound-card/p/itmdm6f3sgxfvcbn?

pid=ISCDM6F2UHBKJP3P&otracker=from-

search&srno=t_1&query=sound+card&ref=2ac797ab-62d0-4c85-8fe4

-b96ba7842d42)

I see that the Sound-card has all 3.5mm jacks but my Home

Theater features only RCA. output

This is the matter of concern for me. I don't know what to do

and how to get 5.1 surround sound from my PC and to encode

5.1 surround music without being able to connect the Sound-

card and my Home theater.

Do I need something of this kind:

???

If at all I use this, will I be able to get true surround (I

do have 5.1 sound source files, so no need to worry about the

source files)?

If you want to get digital surround sound you will have to use a digital output (optical or coaxial) from the soundcard to the same type of input on the Phillips. Can't find any info on it and your photobucket link is not working.

That helps. Looks like you have a 5.1 channel self powered speaker setup. This uses RCA plugs instead of the mini plugs on the PC. You just need cables with stereo mini plug at one end and a pair of RCA plugs at the other. You will need 3 of them (one for front left/right, one for rear left/right, and one for center/sub)

Will I be able to get true surround by the way you suggest?

What I mean is, if I use those cables, will I be able to get true surround ?

You might want to try one of the ASUS Xonar soundcards as well, to give some extra performance. The budget Xonar, the Asus Xonar DGX, performs quite well!

I do not know whether I would get this here (in India).
Can you tell me whether I could encode (mix) 5.1 music with this sound card : http/www.flipkart.com/creative-5-1-vxi-pci-internal-sound-card/p/itmdm6f3sgxfvcbn?pid=ISCDM6F2UHBKJP3P&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=sound+card&ref=2ac797ab-62d0-4c85-8fe4-b96ba7842d42

@harshavardhan ganesan

a soundblaster card works perfectly fine. you do not need an asus xonar. both are low level cards anyways but are suitable for your task.

you will need a 3.5mm to rca splitter as you linked.

you will need 3 of those cables. 3.5mm one end, rca the other.

soundcard FL/FR single port to the audio FL/FR seperate ports
soundcard C/SUB single port to the audio C/SUB seperate ports
soundcard RL/RR single port to the audio RL/RR seperate ports

i'm not quite sure what you mean by mixing. do you mean like DJ work?

if so the one thing i noticed is that the soundblaster has an "analog line in" port (blue) but it doesnt seem to have a "microphone in" port (pink). if you intend to use a microphone i would get one with a pink port in addition to the ones you already have. likely the next step up for soundblaster cards has one.

@harshavardhan ganesan

a soundblaster card works perfectly fine. you do not need an asus xonar. both are low level cards anyways but are suitable for your task.

you will need a 3.5mm to rca splitter as you linked.

you will need 3 of those cables. 3.5mm one end, rca the other.

soundcard FL/FR single port to the audio FL/FR seperate ports
soundcard C/SUB single port to the audio C/SUB seperate ports
soundcard RL/RR single port to the audio RL/RR seperate ports

i'm not quite sure what you mean by mixing. do you mean like DJ work?

if so the one thing i noticed is that the soundblaster has an "analog line in" port (blue) but it doesnt seem to have a "microphone in" port (pink). if you intend to use a microphone i would get one with a pink port in addition to the ones you already have. likely the next step up for soundblaster cards has one.

Thanks for d answer.

I still have 2 doubts:

1.Will I be able to get true surround by connecting my pc n 5.1 HT with the 3.5mm to rca splitter ?

2.By mixing or encoding, I meant;
I compose tunes, jingles, and background music for videos. I used to compose and encode music in stereo (2.1) but recently I thought of encoding my music in 5.1 that is the reason why I insist on the encoding and mixing capability of the soundcard.

I do have appropriate software to compose and encode 5.1 music but the only thing(s) I need is a Sound card and the 3.5mm to rca splitter to start encoding 5.1 Surround music.

as far as mic is concerned, I do not do DJ work, so I do not need a "mic in" port in the sound card.

It depends what your looking for....A 5.1 sound card is a must plus you say you have a 5.1 surround system so your good to go for movies but when it comes to music don't expect to get true 5.1 till you play 5.1 music and MP3 is plain garbage....my I suggest dvd audio or sacd ebay has a good selection ..Even then you have to extract the music and convert to flac but it's worth it playing 24 bit 96khz 6ch 8000kbps best quality known to man.
