4.1 soundcard - comptaible with 5.1, 2.1, 2.0 speakers?
i have a few years old creative labs sb soundcard with a dying 4.1
speakers set. what kind of replacement speakers set should i buy? will a 5.1 speakers set be compatible with it (but with one of the speakers being silent), or do i need to go "down-compatible" instead with a 2.0 speakers set. reason i ask is there appears to be no 4.1 speakers sets on the market these days. thanks! |

It would help if you gave the model number of this Creative Labs SB.
Some of the newer 5.1 speakers come with a switch for 4.1, 5.1, 6.1. Like my Labtecs X-620 6.1 (and 5.1 or 4.1 setting). Got them as refurbished off w.Ebay.com from Justdeals.com $33 (including shipping), speakers were in "like new" condition. For a cheap 5.1 sound card replacement, my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz was used off Ebay.ocm for $20.50, Does 5.1 speaker and has quality hardware (card was $100 when they first came out) Or the Chaintech AV-710 usualying $25 The card uses a VIA Envy HT-S chip Should have good driver update support.
