I bought my speakers a couple of years ago, and I like how they sound. But now with a new computer I have a 7.1 integrated mobo setup with four output ports, and a 5.1 speaker system with only two plugs. I plug in the green plug and the black plug, but then my software only recognizes it as a 2.1 system and I get nothing from the rear satellites. Is there some kind of adapter I need to use here? Or should I just expect this to happen unless I buy new speakers?
A new sound card would probably be in order anyway, but I don't have a problem with the integrated sound thus far. I'm a frightened cat who never pumps the volume enough to notice.
