surround Quick 2.1 vs 5.1 Surround Sound Audio Question

[SamtheMan101]

How do I know whether my Motherboard supports 2.1 vs 5.1 surround sound systems? Manual says next to nothing about the actual capabilities. Was thinking of purchasing this > https://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/z607-surround-sound-system as a surround system throughout my room. Not sure if it requires a sound card or simple audio jacks / Bluetooth. Any help appreciated. (photo of my audio jacks of my motherboard MSI X570 Gaming Edge WiFi)

 

Any and all help appreciated, cheers.

Each audio jack supports 2 channels. 5.1 (5+1) audio would mean total of 6 channels. So you would need 3 audio outputs, you got atleast 4, meaning you can even have 7.1 audio no problem.

Even 7.1? lol I didn't know that. The motherboard diagram doesn't quite show where each surround sound connection goes to. Is there a universal diagram or something I can reference when it arrives?

RS > Rear or side.

CS > Center and subwoofer.

L-Out > Front.

L-In > Rear or side (for 7.1 audio, you have to configure it in software).

Mic > Microphone (although it also most likely can be also re assigned in software).
