Which USB external sound box do I need ?

[BabaBooey]

I have a small form factor PC ( like mac mini size / style ) and want to run my Dell - Altec Lansing ADA995 5.1 THX speakers with it but not sure which kind of box / card I need.

I have 3 audio plugs that plug into the sound card on my old rig that died ( green - yellow - black plugs )


Just looking for a low cost solution, I am not an audiophile by any means.


Thanks for any info / help.

I believe this is the information sheet for these:

How many audio connections do you have?

The Realtek sound on my last two motherboards let you select what channel you are plugging each speaker into.

Or, if it fits in your computer, you can get the sound card it was designed for pretty cheap:

And they have drivers for that card up to Windows 7.

I only have the 3 lines Black - green - yellow
from the amp to the PC in order for it work properly.


The PC is a ASUS VM60-G072R mini desktop.

In that case, this looks like it would work:

since you need something external, but all the connections.

Excellent, thank you very much for the help.
