Connecting A Subwoofer is a nightmare!

Bonavox

Can anyone help me please? I have the subwoofer is a pain in the arse when trying to connect to a computer. Can someone advise me what to do? The back has:

A cable with three (green, yellow and black) small jacks
Four ports:
FRONT: R (green) L (yellow)
REAR: R (purple) L (yellow)

There is also a port which looks slightly like a rectangle. I've uploaded a not so great quality photo of the back. I'm trying to connect it to a MacBook White. It is the subwoofer of the Dell MMS 5650 model.

Thanks!

Moving to the PC side of the house - hopefully someone here will have come across this before....

You need a soundcard that supports surround sound and has multiple outputs. Your Macbook doesn't have this.

Perhaps simplest solution is to get an external USB soundcard.
An example from Maplin:

This will take the mini jack plugs from the subwoofer.
Of course there are cheaper alternatives available on the internet ...

Hope this helps.
