Hey,

Ive just purchased a new pc and it came with a 5 speaker hd sourround sound thing.
But i can only get 2 speakers to work because there is not enough holes to put all the cables in.
So im guessing you need to buy some sort of adapter that you can put in one hole and it will have like 5 holes on the adapter.
But basicly i cant find one and dont know whats its called.
So can somone tell me what it is i need is called and where i can buy it.
Thanks.

Are you plugging the speakers into the surround sound an there aren't enough inputs for them or is it there aren't enough inputs on the computer for the surround sound?

well it has like a box with a woofer and bits where u can change volume of each speaker and at the back of that box there are lodes of input holes some for microphone and things like that and some speaker ones but there is only enough speaker ones for 2 of the speakers to work not 5.

You need to buy a surround sound card, or go in your sound drivers and make the red and blue ports speaker outputs as well, most recent computers can do this. in the tray (bottom right near your clock) there should be a icon that either looks like a Play button or some blue thing with a yellow design (well most recent comps without sound cards have this) and you can click in there and configure to computers outputs to do surround sound through the mic and line in ports.

how will that help me get all 5 speakers plugged in if there are not enough holes??

So it's the surround sound system that doesn't have enough input for the speakers, right? Do you know what the brand and model number for the surround sound is?

Multimedia 2.1 Channel Speaker Set

Yeah, that's the problem right there: it's a 2.1 speaker system. In order to use five speakers it needs to be a 5.1 speaker system. There isn't anything you can do about it.

so why does it come with 5 speakers???

Either you were shipped the wrong speaker system or someone returned it before but slipped in a 2.1 speaker system instead of a 5.1 system.

Do all the speakers look the same or are they different styles? You could have been shipped the standard PC speakers in addition to the 2.1 system. That would give you 4 speakers and a subwoofer though.

yeah they all look the same with soundmax written on them..
shall i just sell the othher 3 then lol?

Make sure that they didn't give you the wrong speakers first. If you were supposed to get a 5.1 system then tell them that you didn't get a 5.1 system.

no it did say on description Multimedia 2.1 Channel Speaker Set


yet on the woofer bit where you change volume it sais front - back - center - woofer why would it say all that if it cant play on 5 speakers?
