    I was looking at reviews of these speakers and i am pretty sure i am going to buy these if i can find a solution to my problem.

    I have an alienware m15x without the XFi sound card. But on the specs it says the built in sound card supports 7.1/5.1 (Intel® High-Definition Audio (24-bit, 192Khz) with surround sound ).

    How would i go about sending audio to the speakers as it only has a headphone jack and the speakers require 3 inputs?

    So basically how do i get 5.1 from a headphone jack or do i need to buy a new sound card?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    It'll do 5.1/7.1 if your speakers have S/PDIF input, which is only common in higher end speakers, so I don't know if the x540's have them. But yea, USB sound cards or ExpressSlot sound cards are your other option.
