How to run 5+1 sound

[Guest]

Hi,
i have ordinary sound card with 3 connectors. One for OUT one for MIC and ONE for something.
In WinXP a have a software witch say that first connector is for subbuffer second is for two front speakers and last is for back speakers.

In Kubuntu I dont know how it set to work like in Win.

Thx for any word.

Re: How to run 5+1 sound

ordinary or onboard pink is mic

green is output, regular headphone jack, you'll get 2.1 at best from this usually 2.0

blue is a line in

for 5.1 analog you'd need

green front
black rear
orange center/lfe
a second orange would be alternate center

most 5.1 systems through a pc run 3 wires out to the soundcard from the sub, and then from the sub to the rest of the speakers, in my experience any ways.

You don't have to have a soundcard for this, some mobo's come w/ an optical out, or analog, or both. My older cheaper one(mobo) just has the standard pink/green/blue.
