is this possible Is there something out there? Using existing 5.1 speakers as a wireless/apartment wide speakers

[Admiral Breaker]

I am going to be moving into an apartment and I have a fairly nice (in my opinion) 5.1 surround sound speaker setup that is attached to my computer. In the apartment my computer is going to be in another room. My existing speakers use the 4 3.5mm speaker connections(left, Middle, Right, Main, Sub-woofer). Is there a device that I can connect those connections to, similar to a google audio chromecast that will utilize all those channels? Or is it wishful thinking?

So do you want standard 2 channel stereo to come out of your 5.1 ? Or do you want true 6 channel audio ?

Im not sure but isn't the google chromecast not actually what you need?

Or are you limited by the 4x 3,5mm connections?

Cool but it sounds like OP's speakers are self-powered so it wouldn't need an amp

its not an amp its a wireless transmitter.

Looks like an amp to me. What kind of port are those outputs?  Usually when you have a separate + and - terminal it indicates a powered output ie an amp.

This is heading in the right direction but my speakers only use 3.5mm jacks for each channel. So I would have to rule this out. Or is there a way to combine all the channels into a single UBER 3.5mm jack or something (not optical or digital because speaker set does not have that option)

You are 100% correct. When I have my speakers plugged in, all of my audio ports but my TOSLINK is used.

How about bluetooth?
