5.1 and stereo together!
 

hi
I have a 5.1 system (from creative) on my pc and I got a nice stereo system (JVC) in my room. A dream of mine: I want to get them working together any ideas??

well, I hooked my xbox into the AUX in located on the sub, but it only output sterio. I've looked into many ways to fit my xbox in 5.1, but haven't found one. Your only chance would be to buy some kind of external box, but I have no idea if there is one.

yeah the aux thing won't work (line in and line out so I can play music on my stereo system and sound comes outta 5.1 system or I can play music on my pc and the sound will come outta the stereo system), but I found no way to interlink em.

you provably need one of those fancy audigi boxes with loads of audio outputs

maybe u're right Luciel such a audigy card would cost me 66-70 €
(upto 8 channels) and my current card is useless then *snif*
or I heard of cables which split the output sound (example of such a cable:
my_sound_blaster_output_for_front_speakers------then_two========one_of_them_to_sub_and_one_to_aux_ from_stereo_system

I'll ask in shop if I have time or call them they should help me (now I know what to ask for and I'll ask if the sound quality is worse if I split(if possible)

@Quall999: maybe I'm totally wrong, but isn't aux only able to transfer stereo?

:D :D :D YEEHAAAA! I love music soo much and now even more.
I went to the electronic shop today and they gave me two things...
description:
-I have a soundblaster live! (3 channels go off it: frontspeakers, rearspeakers, subwoofer)
-all cables are klinke types so they gave me an adapter which splits the frontspeakers channel. I put this adapter in my soundblaster for frontsp. then it splits... one ending goes to the subwoofer as before
-then I got another cable klinke to cinch (for my aux :D ) I put this in the other ending and the 2 chinch things in my stereo system...... :cool:

so...? does it work?

I use my ps2 on my surround sound in the lounge. Hook it upto the dvd player, n turn dvd player on and put thew dvd player to tv/aux/vcr depending were you plug it in :)

of course if it wasn't so I wouldn't be soo happy!
ok I hear normal music with it on my pc don't tested with games, yet!
don't know what'll be the result there (I don't don't make much sense there so only for the bigger and louder audio system in my room!

yeah Ps2_MaD that's for the purpose: ps2 (or other sound outputs) use aux (or whatever) from other sound sources like 5.1 but I wanted them working together...

so u got 5.1 effects? (I don't own one of these newer consoles and don't know which of em supports it) ok I know the ps2 can be used as dvdplayer so the games might have some nice effects, too.

i highly doubt PS2 supports 5.1 effects

I have 5.1 digital surround sound on some/not all of my games. I just hooked it up to the tv, then put the dvd player on at same time, press tv and away i go :)
