Motherboard Audio Connections

[altairauditore]

I have an existing stereo speaker set. I just received a new one and i wanna connect them to my DH67BL motherboard. The new ones dont have a subwoofer, but the speakers have better bass.

I want the PC to play using both the sets. The old one is connected to the green port. Where should I connect the new ones? Orange or Black?
The cable is a normal 3.5mm cable.. and I want the bass handled on the new set.

The green port is for the fronts, black would be rear speakers in a surround system, and orange is the subwoofer and center channel.

You'll want the new speakers connected to the green port. If you want the old speakers to be rears then hook them up to the black port. If you want both pairs of speakers playing the same thing (stereo), then you'll need a Y splitter.

Go into your sound card's configuration utility and make any necessary changes to the sound output settings.
