Connect all the three cables of Speaker System to “Line Out”, “Line In”, and “Mic In” Socket of your PC. Now Select 5.1 Channel if your computer has “RealTek” audio driver software or select 6 Channel if your computer has HD VDeck audio driver software. As you select these options, the sockets “Line Out”, “Line In”, and “Mic In” are converted in 5.1 Channel Socket. One disadvantage in making connection with these sockets is that you can not use microphone while using 5.1 Channel because you do not have sound card in your mother board.
