    Hi -

    I own the Logitech X540s, so they're 5.1 capable. The input on the speakers are 3 1/8mm jacks. One is green, one is orange, and the last one is black. I'm looking for something that will give me 5.1 via USB. I'm looking at this as it seems to do what I need. Anyone own the product or have used it? Does it work?

    Thanks
    Kevin

    I would think yes, as long as it's always had only 2. If used to have 3, but now has 2. I would say no. :eek: :cool: :p
