    Hello, sorry if wrong section.

    Maybe you guys can help me because this is really confusing me. I'm not an expert when it comes to sound.

    I brought a 5.1 speaker system for my PC.
    The subwoofer has 3 sections:
    - Aux
    - DVD
    - Audio Out

    I was told by the company that I need a 5.1 decoder for true surround otherwise it'll be stereo quality. This fact shouldn't be an issue to the problem I'm having.

    The problem I'm having is that all the speakers don't have sound coming out?
    I've attached a RCA to 3.5mm jack into the AUX bit so that I can plug it into my PC, TV etc., using the 3.5mm AUX input.

    I have 5 satellite speakers which all have 1 uncolored RCA cable.
    I also have a couple RCA male to male cables.

    Question is; how can I get sound out of all of the 5 satellite speakers? How can I achieve 5.1 as currently I'm getting 2.1?
    The speakers are advertised that they have 2.1 / 5.1 mode switching, there's no button or something that switches the modes.


    Speakers I am using are Auna MM-5.1-JW

    Description
    This stylish 5.1 system from Auna uses active technology to amplify audio sources of all kinds - from DVD players to MP3 players to PCs - to level never before seen.

    The low-vibration wood cabinet and sidefiring bass reflex subwoofer produce a round, warm overall sound that does not distort the bass in the peak areas.

    Visually, the continuous piano-black front and muted blue light effect radiate a subtle elegance that integrates seamlessly with most decor styles and office environments.

    Please check whether your DVD player has a 5.1 RCA output sequence prior to purchase. This is a prerequisite for 5.1 surround sound as the set does not have a built-in surround decoder.



    Top Features :

    Active 5.1 system with 95 watts RMS power
    Powerful sidefiring subwoofer in low vibrating bass reflex design
    Separately adjustable volume for each speaker section
    Adjustable sleep timer
    Stylish piano-black front with blue LED light effect
    Suitable for stand and wall mounting

    Features:
    Connections: 1 x stereo RCA AUX input, 1 x 5.1 input (RCA), 1 x 5.1 speaker set output (RCA cable to the satellite speakers built-in)
    Convenient operation via remote control and operating section
    2.1 / 5.1 mode switching
    Satellite speakers with removable grilles
    Mute
    Frequency response: 40Hz to 20kHz
    Channel separation:> 45dB
    Signal-to-noise ratio:> 70dB
    Power supply: AC 20 - 240V, 50Hz

    Included :
    1 x active subwoofer
    5 x satellite speakers
    1 x remote control
    3 x stereo RCA cables
    1 x 3.5mm jack to RCA cable

    Dimensions:
    Subwoofer: 16.5 x 28 x 33cm (WxHxD)
    Satellites: 9.5 x 15 x 9cm (WxHxD)
    Weight subwoofer: about 5kg
    Weight satellite: about 430g each
    [/spoil]

    NB: If I do need a 5.1 decoder, I'll get one. But could somebody explain how I can setup the decoder? What ports does it go into and what goes in to it etc?

    I really appreciate the help

    Fixed

    You'll need 3 RCA cables for the output on your PC, check your motherboard manual for the right ports.

    RCA cables can only handle 2 channels per cable, sometimes quadraphonic works. If it doesn't work set it to quadrophonic on your PC and the sound processor inside the amplifier should imitate the center speaker using the left and right signals.
