I have a Dell XPS, a gaming computer and a everyday Hi-Grade home PC. Anyway, the speakers for the normal comp broke. The gaming computer doesn't currently have access to the internet, we are getting wireless in the week. I tried to connect the dell speakers to the normal comp, but they`re very odd. The dell speaker is a large black box, with a dial for changing bass, it has five slots, four for left and right speakers, and a large plug for the center speaker, which has a dial for changing volume. I have no idea how to plug it into my normal comp, I did it about a year ago, but put the speakers back into the dell. None of the plugs seem to fit, but I've made uit work before. Please help, because when something is explained on a video with audio- I can't hear it and it's really annoying.
THANKS!

You need to buy some accessories from a good electrical store. In the UK, Maplins will be best, in the US try something like City Electrics. You need a box that can take one or two inputs and many outputs or you might just get away with a cheap jack plug converter (to change the size of the plug). Anyway, it is best for you to go to a good store and see what you would prefer and how much you are willing to pay for your choice.

On the back of your computer tower there should be three ports lined up along side each other, colour coded for the speakers. If you are using a laptop, you will have to buy some special adaptors (not sure exactly what they are called) so that all 3 plugs are then plugged into one hole. On the laptop they would be plugged into the headphones "hole".

Your speaker should have 3 jack usually green,pink and black...try to find these colors on the back of your computer;s case...if you can't find these ports,you can't use yous speaker on this computer because your sound card doesn't support 5.1 channel speakers.
