Answer 1

You will need to ensure you have a sound card capable of playing at least 5.1 Surround sound.
Most modern Dells will come with the feature.

You will then need to ensure you have all of the necessary jacks to plug the wire into the back of your pc system.

If you are looking for a cheap but good quality 5.1 system I highly recommend:

Answer 2

it all depends on the connection. for example my TV has a headphones socket so i could get a wire that will plug into the mic socket on the computer (usually the same end as used on eardphones and connect it to the headphones socket on my TV (this connection is usually a bigger plug. If u want you can make your own by chopping at different connections and joining them together (please be careful) also dont think its hard making the cable all you have to do is strip both ends twizzle them togther making sure there colour coded and then use tape to tie round the twizzled bits of wire so the wires that are not ment to touch dont touch each other simple. if your tv dosent have a headphones socket discover the connection to the speakers and make a wire for those! hope i helped in any way.
