Can 5.1 surround from computer be used on TV?
I have a 5.1 surround sound system that goes to my computer via a 3 to 1 mini jack adapter.
The original cord is 3 separate mini jack ends, but the colors are not standard as in the RCA jacks. One is black, one very pale green and one is yellow. They will also not physically interface with the TV.
The speakers have their own power source and volume control also.
Is there a way to hook this to the TV and utilize the 5.1? I plugged it into the headphone jack and it works that way, but I have no control over the speakers aside from volume up/down, everything else is disabled.
The speakers have rca style jacks into the subwoofer/power source, but again, the colors don't match anything on the TV. They are purple, blue, yellow and pink, and the volume control on a small front speaker comes from a DVI size connector.
Long question, any help?
Thanks!
