    Hello all,

    I have two 2.1 speakers i connect to my xps m1730 using both headphone input. My friend just upgraded his sound system and let me have his obsolete 2.1 speakers.

    My question is: Is there any way to connect the third 2.1 speaker system to my notebook. I have tried using the options in the sigmatel audio software to try and reconfigure my mic input but that does not work.

    Any type of solution (hardware or software) would be grand. Path of least expense would be great too but not a must.

    My specs are: windows xp, 4gig ram, 8800m-gtx, and the rest is basic.

    Thanks

    Hell-ll

    Thanks for the quick reply. I now have a total of 3 2.1 speakers. I can connect 2 easy but do not know how to connect the third one to the computer. Thanks
