If you bought the speakers direct from a retailer first hand the there is a plug that takes one output and turns it into three. Just plug the sub into that and (match the colors of course). and connect the speakers into the sub. and you should be done.

The sound quality will be completely determined by your computer speakers.  Laptop computers have notoriously bad speaker sound.  I would recommend getting mid level speakers (don't spend $5, but $25 should do the trick) and plug them into your audio output.  Your laptop should have a microphone input and an audio output on the side.  That is what I mean.\n\nGood luck.

well if your sure you have a good sound card that supports surround sound. then you need to access your card using device manager and go into properties, better yet i would call tech support for your sound card first and then the speakers support next. peace.

go to belkin.com and get their advisor or to crucial.com and run theirs. It will tell you what sound system you have then just google it (or go to downloads.com) and download it

If you are using Internal Audio, there would be 3 ports at the back ( Sound input and output ports) just below the USB ports. And if its way below like below the AGP card. Then You use a Sound a sound card.\n\nAnyway you will need a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Video Editor to the stuff you wanna do.

You're going to slap me for suggesting it, but check the following first:\n\n1. Go to the control panel, check sound.  Is it muted?  Is anything muted?\n2. Double check that the speaker is in the correct port, and not going through another device (speaker/headset splitter, etc) first.\n3. Make sure the card is seated properly.\n\nOnce you've done these, go to the control panel, then system, then hardware, then device manager and make sure the computer knows the card is present and installed.  Make sure it thinks it's running.\n\nGood luck.

If you don't want to spend much money, all you really need to make a decent connection is a standard "Y-adapter" cable like the one pictured. These simple cables can be purchased for about $10 from your local consumer electronics store.\n\nSTEP 1\nPlug the stereo 1/8" mini-jack end of your Y-adapter into the sound card or headphone jack of your computer. This is the same jack you would use to plug in PC speakers. \n\nIf you use a "Stereo Y Splitter", you can also plug your stereo speakers in at the same time providing enhanced sound.\n\nSTEP 2\nLocate an available jack (Aux, Tape2, etc.) on the back of your stereo receiver and plug in the other ends of your Y-adapter. NOTE: DO NOT USE THE PHONO JACK, as this will cause static and interference.\n\nSTEP 3\nOn the front panel of your stereo receiver, select the mode where you have connected your Y-adapter (Aux, Tape 2, CD, etc).

If you had sound before you probably just lost the driver for it. You don't need a card. If you bought the PC new look in the owners manual to see what make sound device you have and reinstall the driver. With XP it's on your Hard Drive already, just pick it from the list. If it's an on-board sound chip you may have to go into the setup utility (in your bios) and turn on Sound Blaster Legacy support. If all else fails see if the speakers are plugged in.

You'll have to install a sound card that supports digital speakers.  As far as I know, the Soundblaster live does not support digital speakers.  You will want at least an Audigy 2 ($42) for digital speakers, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&description=audigy&Submit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 but the best sound card is the X-Fi ($113), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102188\n\nAnd just so you know that Realtek is an integrated solution which is built into your motherboard.

Have you tried to adjust your sound proprties on your pc?Go there by going through your control panel then to sounds. You should see speaker settings go to advanced then click on 5.1 sound. I hope you installed the drivers right.
