    hey all,

    was just wondering what sort of stuff can you plug into 5.1/mic jack? all my known 5.1 systems have 3 output cables, which require a PC soundcard. alternatively, external sound card can be used, but that has single usb connection.

    would a 3 to 1 audio adapter work and would it have any of 5.1 capabilities?

    thanks
