Here's what I'm trying to do. I hope I can make it clear enough to make sense.
On the simplest front, I'm trying to integrate a computer with a home theater system (or something like that). Here's the basic layout. But I think I'm missing at least one piece to make it all work.
Computer with Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card (has the green orange black blue outputs). I used to run this sound through a Klipsche 5.1 system until it died a month ago. Now I am planning on upgrading my television and getting a new 5.1 audio system and want to know how to get the computer's sound card output to connect with the home thewater's 5.1 system.
Will I need special adapters to go from whichever is the correct output of those green orange black blue outputs? I haven't seen any systems that have an input that will accept what my sound card is using for output, thus making me think I'm missing something.
So, before I buy, please advise.
Did I leave anything else out? Please ask. I'm a newbie at this, so please use appropriate language so I can undersand all the help you can give me.
