non audio guy question

[FvkYourPotato]

so i have the asus strix 7.1 headphones. and i have a cheap speaker set with two speakers and a sub. if there a way to convert a green, orange, black, and gray plugs coming out of my amp in to the red and white that the speaker accepts and still get close to the full experience? or convert it all to a single green headphone input? those are the two inputs for my speakers.

7.1 headphones are a gimmick and marketing bs. There is no reason to have more than 2 channels for headphones

 

what amp do you have?

 

Just use the red and white. With stereo, music and games use phase changes to make it sound like the sound if comming from different locations.

Need more info on the setup but generally if all you have is Left and Right RCA connections on the speakers then your going to be limited to 2 channels. DOn't worry about the extra channels since you don't have enough speakers to connect anyways. Not to mention that generally when it coems to PC audio 2 channel has the ebst support and 5.1+ is a waste of time unless all you do is watch movies.

You want a 3.5mm to RCA cable.
