DivX/DVD Player + 5.1 surround sound

Rew

My local Tesco (Waterford) has a Goodmans DVD/DivX player and a set of Alba 5.1 surround sound speakers for €99.

Yeah picked a set up myself this evening, just tried the DVD player and its played everything I've thrown at it XVID/DIVX DVD-R/RW SVCD/VCD KVCD, haven't rigged it up to the Alba Speakers yet, it also supports component Video out and it has both Co-axial & Optical out. the built in decoder is only Dolby Digital but it can output DTS to a suitable amp! Well worth the buy!!!!!

I bought this too, after a brief freak out thinking the left speaker wasnt work
*cough me not paying attention to connections* it aint a bad setup for 99 quid ;-)
Xvids seem fine on it, Well worth the money imho

Anyone know if you can get cable converters so I can connect the Speakers into the back of my PC Audigy Card?

Thanks

What inputs are on the speakers and what outputs have you on your Audigy?

Snake Plisken

The Speaker connections are all Phono type connections and the Audigy card are headphone style connections(Forget the name of this type)

Thanks

AFAIK Maplin has a lead to convert stereo jack to phono x 2.
