How to connect audio speakers on Z77 Extreme 4

Hello ASRock community, request your valuable assistance.

My motherboard model ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 is equipped with 7.1 CH HD Audio which I never used it before. Because my LG DVD/CD Receiver (model LG LH-T6345D, 5.1CH) stopped worked (reason which I don't know yet, maybe the amplifier), I was thinking to connect its speakers with computer.

So I want to make sure, is there any way to make these speakers work again, even on stereo mode 2.1CH? Do I need any amplifier? Or they can work as full 5.1CH, using only 3.5mm audio connectors directly into rear panel of PC, without any amplifier?

On image below are the LG LH-T6345D's parameters.

Thank you for your time,

Hi wardog,

Thanks for your idea. I'll think on that.

Just to clarify, regarding 7.1CH Audio feature, in what scenario I can use it efficiently? If I'll use something like this:  http://goo.gl/VqTYFk Should I get full 5.1CH audio?


thanks



 

Roger that.
