I need to buy some enw speakers and after looking at a few I noticed they are in categories like 2.1/5.1 and 71. Now if I remember correctly soundcards are like this too and I use onboard sound with my A8V Deluxe (I dont have a soundcard) so I was wondering would any speakers be compatible or do I need a 5.1 soundcard to use 5.1 speakers?
