New Sound System

[Djinni]

I think I want to swap out the 2.1 for a 5.1 though, give better sound at the back of the room for when i'm not at the desk...

I was looking for 5.1 pc speakers a while ago. Ended up buying a 2nd hand 850w surround sound stereo for £100 on ebay lol.

I could never go back to tiny pc speakers again lol.

Works with my PS3, Tv and Pc, can also switch back to just tv sound when late at night too.

There seem to be plenty of "cheap" home theatre systems under £100 just can't tell if any of them are worth buying.

Ok so I got the
Creative Labs, Creative Inspire T6300 speakers and the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio soundcard. I finally managed to get hold of a suitable length of optical cable. the only trouble is that when I do the loopback I get the following sound (recording taken by mic next to a speaker)
