I am trying to make some LED lights flash to music. I have 3 audio outputs on the back of my computer, green, black and orange. I have already successfully connected the green audio cable to a transistor to one line of LEDs so that they flash to music. What I want to do is connect the black and orange audio outputs to their own lines of LEDs. From there I should be able to get three lines of LEDs to flash.

The problem is I cannot figure out how to get audio output out of the black and orange outputs. Even after I select them as default devices there is no sound. Can someone help?

BTW I tested all the outputs with speakers before LEDs.

They black and orange are for 5.1 setups. Could try switching to a 5.1 setup.

Thanks, but I already tried that.

To simplify my question a bit, I just what to know how to get sound out of the black and orange aux ports on the back of the motherboard.

I have Virtual Audio Cable, so once I figure out how to get the sound to output from those ports I should easily be able to complete my goal.

Hi
If you have set it up for 5.1 then this will have enabled the ports.
However most music will only play back in stereo which will be why you are not getting output from the surround ports.

Thanks.

Is there any way to get sound to just come out the black or orange port?

Not that I am aware of though somebody may know a way.
You could use the stereo feeds from the green jack though to give feeds to two LEDs.
