Im looking to sell some 4.1 speakers to someone, but they have a rear and front channel... He has an Iwill KA-266 with onboard sound. (mic, input, output) The mobo supports 4.1 sound, but is there an adapter that he can buy to make all 5 speakers work? If so, where?

Thanks,

i *think* what you're saying is that you want to be able to use a 4.1 setup on a sound card with a SINGLE speaker output...right?

if so, you could simply get a 1/8 inch male stereo to dual 1/8 inch female stereo adapter from radio shack

it would turn the single output into 2 outputs. granted, the surrounds in the 4.1 system would be playing exactly what's coming out of the front speakers , but at least it would be "surround"
