Solved

Good evening,

I recently acquired a 5.1 audio kit. Knowing nothing about this field, I thought I could connect the 3 jacks to my TV. In the end, bam! impossible.

So I was wondering if it’s possible to connect the 3 jacks to an external sound card that would be connected to the TV?

Or is there another alternative that would allow me to enjoy all the speakers, even if just in stereo?

    Hello,

    With an external USB sound card, it is entirely possible,
    https://www.magicpc.fr

    This sound card has a digital optical input to enjoy Dolby Digital and/or DTS depending on the audio format of the source. You connect it to the USB port of your TV and plug in the 5.1 kit via jack.

        In the best case,
        Console; computer; DVD player => HDMI => TV.
        TV => USB + optical digital => Sound card => 5.1.

    Hello.
    Mission impossible to connect directly to the TV
    Moreover, 5.1 requires 5 wires.
    2 for front left and right, 2 for rear left and right, and 1 for the subwoofer
    However, connecting the TV to a compatible amplifier poses no problem.
    On the other hand, broadcasts in 5.1 quality are very rare. Only valid for movies.

    Good luck. Best regards.

      Thank you for your reply,

      But would connecting an external sound card to the USB port not work?
      Anyway, it's not for watching TV, but rather for playing on the PS4.

        So, with a PS4, you should normally have several options.
        An audio output on Home video that, if it's in 5.1, will give you 5.1 output. HDMI video output to the television.
        Now, what is your audio kit?

        It's the Logitech X-530.

      5.1 requires 6 channels: Left, Center, Right at the front, Left, Right at the back, and subwoofer.

        Yeah, I know that, but my problem is mainly how to connect it to the TV. So I'm wondering if a USB external sound card would work. Because it's 5.1 with black, green, and orange inputs.
