Computers & Tablets

There are a number of computers now that have Intel HD Audio built in.

They support Dolby 7.1

What I cannot find are computer speakers that are more than 2.1

I have not received my computer yet, but I cannot seem to find info on how the connections work or what you need. 

I have found a bracket for mounting rear speakers to my chair.

MB output:  Speaker Inputs 7,1

• MB Lime to Front audio input
• Light Blue to Side input
• Orange to Center/Subwoofer
• Black to rear input

i have not seen 7.1 desktop speakers sence Creative labs discontinued them years ago. probaby would need to use a home theater setup.  or use 5.1 there are tons of those

7.1 for computer speakers does not make a lot of sense anyway.

Uilizing proper set up for the speakers they would be set up directly behind your chair and unless you had a cockpit or some such it would quickly get cumbersom.

Logitec does have a number of 5.1 set ups

I have beeen exploring options for a swing arm for the rears but it really is not working out to be praticle. 

I will probalby just end up getting a good 2.1 system
