Need help with connecting 5.1 channel sound system to PC

[yugal0007]

Hi,
I have recently bought Philips SPA7000B 5.1 Channel Audio System.
I have Gigabyte GA-970A DS3P Motherboard which supports 2.1/5.1/7.1 CH Audio System.

I have connected all the speakers to the sub woofer. I need help in connecting Sub-woofer to PC.

My PC has Three connectors:
Line-In.
Line-out.
Mic.

My Audio system has following connectors for INPUT:
1) FM ANT
2) AUX - Left & Right
3) CD/DVD - FL & FR
CEN & SW
SL & SR

At present I am using AUX to connect to Line- out of my PC. Hence my system is using it as 2.1 Channel.

Please help me configure in a way that I can utilize all the three connectors of PC.

After remapping, you'd have to connect the cables to the front audio ports (not blue and pink).

Hi, sorry for delayed response.

I remapped, front audio port as "Rear" speakers and front Mic as sub woofer.
But I got the same results.
It seems, New sound card is the only remaining option.
Could you please recommend a card. Budget is $30

Not sure about the available PCI cards over there. Can you list some?

Hi Buddy.

I guess, I found out the real problem.

It has something to do with "Pro Logic".
I was reading the manual. There I found an option to switch off the Pro Logic (when connected all the input ports of speaker (DVD) to PC (line out, sub-woofer, real speaker). Amazingly, when switched pro logic off, I tested in Realtek Sound manager, and this time, all the speakers were successful in test.

But sound quality was a little bit poor.

Could you please read the following text and help me, in determining the correct config. Coz as suggested in manual I don't need to connect all the ports, I can use Aux as well and toggle Pro logic and test if everything's working.

I appreciate your help. Hope this will be the last issue.

Update: When I connect only via AUX port, during testing, not all the speakers work, even though I toggled the Pro logic "on" and "off".

That mobo only has 2 channel line out. 5.1 is supported on the SPDIF digital out header on the board but you don't have that input on the Philips. Hard to find any info on that Philips but the only link I could find says it has USB. Try connecting that to the PC if it does. Check if there are any drivers for download.
If you are limited to 2 channel output from the PC and 2 channel input to the Philips (aux or CD) you can't get digital surround sound only analog. Not nearly as good.

Hi, I am using msi 970a-g43 mobo. It has the three channel output for front/back speakers and subwoofer. But the phillips speakers has only dvd RCA output(red white cables on both ends)

Can i use three Y cables(RCA to 3.5 mm) to make 5.1 work on the system?

Please help.
