Question What will I need?

[1CoLoRz2]

I just picked up a subwoofer, and was wonder what i'd need to connect it to my pc along with my speakers.

Here are links to each:
Speakers- https://www.amazon.com/PreSonus-Eri...2bcb1&pd_rd_wg=Mj2bx&pd_rd_i=B075QVMBT9&psc=1

Sub- https://www.newegg.com/Klipsch-k100-sw/p/0S6-0033-001U0

I was thinking I would need an additional RCA to 3.5 jack cable and a 2 female to 1 male 3.5 jack adapter? But that just doesn't seem like the proper way to do this. And tips appreciated.

most decent motherboards nowadays have inputs for up to a 5.1 setup on the rear I\O.
getting 3.5mm adapters for both should allow 2.1 output to the speakers.

Wow I can't believe i never noticed that.. So I have five 3.5 ports and they're labeled as: Rear, c/sub, mic in, line out, and line in. Im guessing I should connect it to c/sub. What should i plug my speakers into? They're currently connected to my monitor

Line Out would be for left\right stereo.
C/Sub would be for center\sub woofer.

Thank you very much! I knew I was missing something haha.

just got a 2.1 Klipsch THX setup with a similar sub for my desktop and it sounds pretty good for music, movies & games.

Well I'm not getting any signal to it from the c/sub jack. I've tried connecting it to the line out port and it works perfectly fine. Windows and realtek register that something is plugged into the c/sub port. I went into the Asus audio control and set it to 5.1 and made sure subwoofer was selected, still nothing

Edit: When I use the test feature in the audio console the sub works fine

Edit 2: Updating audio drivers didn't fix it.

Bought a 3.1 splitter so they both go into line out. doesn't seem like the proper way to do it but it works I guess
