    What do you call the cable that connects your sound card to the subwoofer/speakers...it's the one that has black, green and orange/yellow heads that goes into the same colour jacks.....

    I manage to bend one and it doesn't work so well now. Can't for the life of me find them on the net to buy a replacement..

    Yea thats just a 6.1 Audio cable, try ... http://ie.europe.creative.com/estore/product.asp?prod=598 , should be free delivery also. (does 5.1/6.1/7.1 , will have an extra connection, just ignore that ;))

    Other than that mabye pop into a shop and it should be pretty standard.

    lol, TBH i dont think many people can put a name on that cable...... common as it is, its hard to define. I had to look at the creative site to see what they called it ,so dont feel that bad :).

    Hope that sorts you out!!

    Bring it into maplin or peats, throw it in the dumb bloke behind the counters face and say, "I want one of these and only one of these".

    Do it along the lines of the way Lois asks for the photos in Malcolm in the Middle and you should be safe enough.

    lol....last time i was in Peats i was looking for blank DVDs and they tried to charge me something like €8 each.....was still laughing as i left the shop emptyhanded.

    Mind you, just bringing that cable to the shop would have saved me a good 30mins of fruitless googling!!!:D Perhaps i should be more open minded and realise D'Internet is not the solution to all the worlds problems....

    Thanks one and all,

    It's a mini jack connector, just buy the connector and wire it up yourself, save you a few beaner I'm sure.
