A simple surround system using a laptop

Papayatheenthusiast

So I have a laptop and a set of simple speakers that have an aux cord for sound and a USB cord for power and an idea occurred to me. Is there a way to use both laptop speakers and individual speakers in a surround setup. I have found out how to use them in the same time but its not quite an immersing experience. Note that I'm no audio professional nor audiophile. Thanks.

OOOO a flat panel. 

You could with some software but it wont be very good since you would have to be playing custom audio. So unless you went and edited song to work it wont work.

update

 

I fond an old home theatre system and I don't know how to connect it to my laptop. it has a red and a white rca audio in connectors and I have a 3.5mm to red, white and yellow rca adapter. connecting it that way results in front left, surround left and subwoofer working when I play something  on my laptop.however when I press test sound button all of them work. btw the model of the home theatre system is Samsung ht-p10.also sorry for the bad pics

You just need an audio RCA to 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo cable (just the Red/White plugs), plugged in like the pic The yellow connection in the Red/White/Yellow RCA combination cable is just for video, don't bother with that cable as it sounds like the poles on the plug aren't setup like a traditional headphone jack.
