[SOLVED] Surround speakers

[kiberniths]

I have an Asus strix soar sound card and 2.1 speakers. The card support 7.1 surround audio. If i want to use that attribute of the card can i buy two pairs of 2.0 speakers or do i need a complete 7.1 speakers kinda like the Logitech Z906?

Analog Output
5 x 3.5 mm jack (1/8") (Headphone out /Front out/Side out/Center-Subwoofer out/Rear out)

Reading the specs - it should work.

My question is that, is the sound card works as 7.1 decoder and the only thing i need is the extra speakers or not and i need a dedicated system?

You could do both, the problem with that, have to know exactly where each speaker will go into.
The control panel for asus sound card should automatically pick up the speaker and identify it like realtek does.

If you want to save yourself a migrain with manual setup, go ahead and get a dedicated 7.1 surround system.
