What do you need to listen to sound in 5.1?
1. A computer with a multichannel sound card (analogue outputs). WindowsMediaPlayer 9 or newer (free software). A connection to internet (broadband). We are streaming in 440 kbps.
2. A home cinema surround speaker system or a PC multichannel speaker system.
3. Cable connections between the analogue outputs of the multichannel sound card, and the analogue inputs of your home receiver / PC multichannel system.
What kind of cables you need, depends on the in- and outputs. Usually it would be 3 minijack(stereo)-to-phono(double) cables, or 3 stereo minijack-to-minijack cables, or 6 mono phono-to-phono cables.
