Rob Thomson Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) Yo all, just bought a 5.1 surround sound system for my PC - thing is my laptop only has 1 headphone port, but i seem to need three Well i do need three.I know you can get 2-1 headphone adaptors, got one in the house, but does anyone know if it's possible to get a 3-1?Help would be nice,CheersRobEDIT: Well just figured out i can just get two 2-1's and run them through each other...BUTWill it keep reducing the max volume as i plug more in like on an mp3 player, or will my laptop just sook more power from the wall?

Gavyn. Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 no idea about a 3 point one but if you buy another 2 point one and plug it into the 2 point one you've already got you would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 You do know that you won't get 5.1 sound out of a stereo jack, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Yeah, are you trying to plug 5.1 speakers into a stereo jack?You'd need a 5.1 soundcard that has several jack inputs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 This is the only solution I can think of really to get real 5.1 out of your laptop,something like thishttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Creative-Labs-Sound-...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Thomson Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I've used one of those USB things - pretty good Especially because you can get a creative sound blaster for 30 quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
