AlpineGuy87 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Hey, I have a Mac, and i dont have i guess a sound card where i can plug in a cable for front, for rear, and for center/sub.. all i have is the one output like for headphones.... I have another one i think its "optical" maybe? the Back of the logitech control center has an optical input and i think my mac has an optical output, should i buy the optical cable and do that? will it do the 5.1 surround? cuz right now i can only use either fronts and centers.. no surround.. so idk what i'm supposed to really do..

Herrie_V Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 U can use a simple rca for coax, i did that on my old pc. Then u have digital sound too. Otherwise buy a optical glassfiber cable. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herrie_V Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 For perfect sound: buy a X-Fi soundcard and use the 3 rca's. Then u can configure your sound better imo. I enjoy my z-5500 every day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herrie_V Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16829102005 ^^^^that in combination with the Z-5500 is the best duo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
