A few months back I bought some nice speakers for my desktop. The sound around type with front, right, and middle speaker, rear left and right, and a woofer that sits on the floor. Once I went to hook it up I found out I didn't have enough input jacks on my sound card. So I had to buy an external sound card, I bought one from Turtle beach which worked out fine. The system sound great. So next I decided to by some head phones from Turtle Beach called Ear Force X52 that I could use on my notebook. Since I was over in the Bay Area, I stopped by Fry's Electronics and saved myself 20 bucks plus shipping and handling. Told the guy at fries what I wanted to do and he said the ear force X-52 was ideal for my needs and would hook right up to my notebook. Well when I got home I discovered that the head phones had to different connections that would plug in at the end of the ear phone cord, and it's got a round female connector. So one of input jacks had your standard input jacks that you'd insert in to your sound card, or in my case I hooked it to the ear phone jack in the front of the notebook. But Damn it! this only produces stereo. In order to get the surround sound I need to hook up the cable , one end being male and round, and the other end pig tails out with four jacks. Is there some kind of device out there that one end has a USB connection that I could hook these four jacks to and get the surround sound?
