5.1 Surround for Computer Audio

Hi my name is Tony Ramirez from Tampa, Florida and on behalf of Expert Village This is Audio for your PC. O.k. So now let's talk a little bit about a 5.1 surround system. This system will actually be plugged up to your computer. Just as we see here it's basically the same type of system I showed you before but there's actually five speakers now. You have your left, your right, your rear right and your rear left. And then you have your center speaker as well. So your 5.1 of course are your five satellite speakers and your point one is your sub woofer. So this is great if you're going to be using video games with high definition audio that will have really good surround sound built in it will actually play through your fronts, rears and your center and sub woofer speakers. Or if you're using your computer to listen to a lot of movies, watch movies or even listen to DVD or SA audio, audio that will be encoded in a 5.1. Whether it's Dolby digital, DTS however it is. Some type of surround sound signal. So with these systems they will be plugged up to your computer either analog or digital. Depending on the computer card that you have and the type of speakers. Some speakers will accept a digital signal some won't. This one right here is an actual, an analog signal speaker that actually works very well. But this will have your headphones jack just like this. But multiple colors which will plug into your actual back of your card. Whether it's an external card or an internal card, of course your choice. But this is your 5.1 surround sound speakers for your PC. A great way again to listen to music, surround sound music, movies or play really good video games with great surround sound. Again your 5.1 system.
