So it's an older 5.1 home theater system?

 

Do you have the receiver?  If so, it's as simple as looking at what inputs the receiver has on the back, finding which ones your computer also has, plugging the two together, and then setting appropriate sound devices/input sources.  Most likely it would be an Optical audio (Toslink) cable, or an SPDIF digital audio connection (this sends a digital signal with all of the audio channels over a regular coaxial/RCA cable).

 

If you don't have either of those two digital inputs, you'll have to use the analog inputs (3.5mm to right and left coaxial/RCA cable), and if you want surround to work properly you'll need to use 3 cables.  Most soundcards that are capable of surround sound usually use one 3.5mm jack for Front speaker left/right, another 3.5mm jack for rear speaker left/right, and the third 3.5mm for the center channel speaker and the subwoofer.

 

If you don't have the receiver, you need to get your hands on either a 5.1 channel receiver, or an amplifier/amplifier(s) with enough channels to run everything.  The 5 satellite speakers will require relatively low power (25-50W), and the subwoofer will probably be about as much power as the rest of the speakers combined (250W), so you'll need 5 low power channels and 1 higher power channel.  Buying a 5.1 channel receiver with digital inputs makes every part of this much easier.

You won't need a sound card.

Use a 3.5mm to RCA cable to connect to your PC.

3.5mm to motherboard output, then the receiver/amp will have analogue inputs in the form of RCA.

 

One other thing to note is that the subwoofer may be active, which means it has an amplifier built in.

If this is the case, you do NOT want to connect it to a powered input.

Most amps/receivers have a "sub out" or something similar, which will be a line level, low pass output (not amplified, only bass), for connecting to an active sub.

Google the model number of the sub to find out if it's passive or active.

Passive=connect to a powered amp output.

Active=connect to a non-amplified source.

 

Hope this helps

See page 29.

The subwoofer is passive (along with all the other speakers).

Hope this helps

Yup

Amplifier or receiver.

5.1 output, 50-100W rated output (per chanel), 75-150W rated for the sub.

No problem.
