Hi everyone!

I apparently made a rather foolish blunder. I assumed that you could hook up a 5.1 PC speaker system to a stereo out jack and get audio on all five speakers (albeit, not true surround sound). However, upon setting the system up, I get nothing out of the center and satellite speakers. The front right, front left, and subwoofer work fine, but I get garbage out of the other three. Is there any way to get these speakers to just output the same signal that the two that are working are? Or am I going to have to look into returning them? I'm not interested in dishing out another $100 for a USB surround sound input or anything, but I would prefer not having to go through the hassel of returning these things... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

-Joel

[Edit: I'm working from an eMac with OS 10.3.1]

Hah! I solved my problem by purchasing a 1->3 stereo headphone splitter from RadioShack. Now all speakers work as expected.
