    Hello,

    I recently bought E1505 and Logitech X-530 70 watts 5.1 Speakers from eBay. Can I just plug it into my laptop or do I need external sound card?

    Can use it but it'll only be 2.1. You'll need an external 5.1 sound card for surround sound.

    And if you cant get oll of them working, cut the wires and connect front and back channels together.
