    Hi Nikos

    From the articles I have read, the only input is usb, the other connectors are for something like a mp3 player (input) and headphones (output).

    So no choice :)

    I believe it has three 3.5mm audio jacks for hooking up to a traditional sound card or DVD player (Front, Surround, Centre/LFE). Hook those up to the analog outputs of your motherboard. That would be the preferred connection.

    Jeditrav yes you have right it have also these three 3.5mm audio jacks i have try with them but when i am trying to setup from the realtek control panel i choose 5.1 setup and testing them but they dont play all the speakers,if i choose 7.1 i can hear sound on the test from all the speakers.
    if i use the usb i can setup them inside from windows sound properties with 5.1 and all the speakers work.
    What i am doing wrong?
