So i have a set of 5.1 computer speakers with orange, black, and green output cables. Last night i was just using it as a stereo for an ipod using the green cable. But if i plug that green cable into my laptop (coming in the mail) will I be able to have surround sound for a movie or game? I think it just has integrated sound, so probably only a green input plug but it's brand new so should i be able to change it to 5.1?

If not, do they make sound cards for laptops that i could upgrade to?
