speaker troubles..

[jer446]

I just bought a new pair of speakers.. The logitech x-530's. I have an image g5. I just realized i dont have all of the connections that i guess these speakers need. I had a good set of speakers before, with four speakers and a sub woofer and they all worked. Now only certain speakers work depending on which colored jack i put into my computer. Is there an adapter i can buy to make the orange, yellow, and black jack fit into my computer, enabling the use of all 5 speakers?

you could buy a mac-compatible usb sound card (assuming you meant imac g5 instead of image g5) or a jack splitter. basically what a jack splitter (think that's what its called) does is it plugs into one jack and has 3 outs so you plug the 3 cables from your (presumably 5.1) setup into the 3 outs. its still only stereo sound.

i dont care as long as it will have all of the speakers working. Can i get a headphone splitter to make it work? yes i meant imac.
