guys how many inputs is needed in the soundcard for 5.1 speakers?

right now i have 4.1 speakers and it has 2 jacks (green = front, black = rear)

do 5.1 speakers require extra input on sound card?

Creative T-Series has T20 (2.0), T40 (2.0) and T3 (2.1). I would go for T3 if I can wait and afford it (or go down to S'pore and get it). Because T20 and T40 are both 2.0; their advantage is space saving, but do you need that? How much space do you have on your table and how much space your speakers sound have to cover/how big is your room?

Does big size equates to durability? I believe quality components, regardless of size, equates to durability.

On external sound cards, sorry, can't help you there.

err my room has spaces to store a 5.1 speakers so u mean that T20 is not durable?

Easy. Your budget gives you a variety of good choices. Bring along your mp3 player and go test those RM400 above and let your own ears decide. At RM400 baseline, you have Klipsch Promedia 2.1 for bass & S330 for balanced sound. Those two should provide you with the sound stardard to compare your other choices.

help guys!!!

not 110W its 110v voltage...not W for Watts. In USA the voltage rating is different than in Malaysia, u must make sure that the speaker support 240V if not..the moment u power it on, the circuit might blow...

Hi there.

I need recommendations for a 2.1 system under RM300.

I listen to music (primary), watch films and do light gaming. I intend to plug my system to my laptop, which will be my desktop replacement.

Thanks in advance.

oops.. typo mistake.

Hi..

budget around Rm200-Rm250..
i have 2 speakers that i would like u guys give some comment about it..
n yes i have read almost all of ur opinion n i still cant make my mind up..

M3300 or M3400 is better?

plz help a noob have a wonderfull sound exprience..hhehe
thx in advanced ya..

M3300 sounds nicer still the same advise , test them b4 u buy

owh ok..
i like this forum..
many expert n very fast reply..
thx..
u ar my man..xD

not all are experts and fast reply because they want to help... take me for example, im not an expert and i spam a lot, babbling about speakers which i've never heard of. and replying fast just to increase post count. moral is, dont take our words 100%, we all have different ears so take ur time to find ur best audio equipment that suits ur budget!

Well, I hope the Edifier shop at Lowyat Plaza Level 3 has both M3300 and M3400 for you to test. I'm pretty sure they have both. I know I saw both M3300 and M3400 in Sri Computers but it is probably not easy to test the sound, given the amount of speakers being on at the same time.

Please call showroom to confirm - 03 21452745.
tahnks for support Edifier

What is the cheapest amp that supports DTS-HD and Dolby-HD? 5.1 channel btw~

I always listen to music using 5.1 speakers. I like the ambience when the music played with rich matrix sound, which you could feel all instrument playing around you. Just ensure you have a decent surround processor to do this. Don't depend much on speakers internal amp. Since my surround processor doesn't have ProLogic 2, so surround sound played is 4.1

And my advice, if you using mp3 music source and using 5.1 speakers, ensure you connect it via digital. Using normal stereo jack will make ur music sound suck.

Just my 2 cents.

I think you need to get new 5.1 soundcard.
