Setting up 5.1 surround sound using only red and green audio jack.
Hi guys,
I was wondering how I would do a 5.1 surround sound set up using only the microphone jack and headphone jack on my laptop - without utilizing an external sound card.
What I am interested in is:
- would it be possible to reconfigure/reassign the role of each audio port and how would I do that?
- How would I physically connect a front left/right, rear left/right and sub-woofer cable, to two ports available on my basic laptop?
- do i have to strip some wires and "piggy-back" the wires.
Is what I am asking for possible? I know, the easy thing to do is to go and buy an external sound card like the Zalman-RSSC V2 5.1ch USB sound card, but I already have a desktop with an adequate sound-card for the purposes stated above and I want to try something challenging, which brought me to this forum for help.
I hope someone out there can give me some ideas.
Cheers
