[pranjal]

hi, i have just bought a sony vaio vgn-cs25glaptop.There are only two ports in the laptop. one is for the headphone and the other one is for the microphone.when i connect the woofer (green or the black wire ) to the earphone port then only 2 speakers is played along with the woofer. i am a great fan of rock music .but in rock music one needs atleast 4.1 sound system to get the best of output.so how can i play all the speakers in the laptop?please help me.

I guess you'll have just one jack. You may have to buy a bit of kit.
Look for USB or PCMCIA sound cards for laptops.

Or get a splitter and use two phono leads out of that. Love the budget ideas.
