the speakers in a 5.1 system represent 5 speakers 1 sub, although the other speakers are meant to play different frequencies you can do it of course but you just get a hype stereo sound and a sub,
I have a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card. A high-end 5.1 speaker set up is expensive. Howabout a Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers with a pair of decent bookshelf speakers? Would it work? Any suggestions? Thanks.
