I have the Logitech X-530 5.1 sourround sound speaker system which comes with 5 speakers a subwoofer and volume control. My notebook only has a headphone jack and microphone jack. These speakers have three connectors. So my question is. Can I get an adapter for this?
 
It looks to me like it just has 1 3.5mm jack - the three connector (RYW) go into the back of the subwoofer...
 
I do have an expansion slot. How do I know if it is PCMCIA? This solution won't work once I buy a mac.
 
The only way to get surround sound off of a stock notebook is through its hdmi output, which, the X-530s has no ability to take in.
 
Have you considered a USB sound card? I know there are a couple out there that support 5.1. Just don't get lured into those fake virtual surround-sound USB sound cards I think we sold one at one point that said 7.1 virtual surround sound but it was actually just a two channel output :P
 
Yes I've looked into that but I cant seem to find some that are made for this system

Ignore the video cable.


Update:
I found this on Best Buy's site.
