ok, I was thinking it would be cool to have a 6.1 setup for my comp (good ole american mantra more is better) With the update at hercules I can turn my gtxp into 6.1 capable, but if I do this, 1. what is my best option for quality speakers? and 2. Where do I hook the 6th speaker up? I heard someone mention maybe a 4.1 setup like logitech's and then a 2.1 would this work if so how? Thanks for your reply in advance.
 
My GTXP went AWOL after playing the Ghost Recon Demo. Haven't had sound for about a month.

I'm guessing the 6.1 only works with a digital out to a receiver of some sort. I dont know where the 6th speaker would plug into...

Best speakers on the market? Klipsch 5.1 Pro Media 😀 Screw the 6th speaker, it aint like you're really gonna notice it 🙂 Heck I dont even have room for a 6th rear speaker.
 
Actually, you can use the 6th speaker with the analog outputs. One of the existing jacks (the headphone one, maybe) becomes dual purpose.
 
Yep, IIRC, you hook up 5.1 as usual on the back and then the headphone becomes the 6th speaker - the rear center I believe.
 
yes I know the headphone jack becomes the 6th speaker spot, but what kind of setup would you use, I mean can you really buy just 1 or 2 surround sound sattelites?
 
you'd need:
2 main speakers
2 surround speakers
2 center speakers
1 sub

so there is no need to buy individual surround speakers. besides most speakers are sold as single units not pairs.
