    So i have 2x cables connected to my computer and this is what i can choose:

    Linj in
    Mic in
    Headphones
    Frontspeakers out
    Back/Rare speakers out

    If you want 5.1 from your pc , it not really worth the hastle using demestic stuff to do it. For the time and effort saved get a 5.1 system for your pc and wire up your bigger speakers to that. Basically you need a decoder to transmit the 5.1 sound from your sound card into the 5.1 sound. I use a creative system that allows me to use a digital signal for the 5.1 and the old anolog for my head set.

    I just use my 5.1 system with a fiber optic cable that I swap between my computer and the ps3, all pretty simple
