    My speakers comes with green, black and orange audio cables. :confused: If it doesn't support, what would be a external sound card with superior sound quality?

    yup thats the card which ive got but im not sure if that model has been superceided by a newer card.

    if you can still get the above card then you will also need this docking unit.

    Another question, if i don't have my speakers with me, could I still use the USB sound card device to play music using internal laptop speakers? Not using the on-board chip (quality sucks).

    XtClocker, you should do a quick skim through in the manual to see if it supports 5.1 surround. My D900F supports it on integrated sound, the manual tells me how to hook it up. It's worth a look!
