given that we have no idea what laptop you have.
It is possible to use an external sound card, Creative makes one, but it depends on what laptop you have.
What MP3 player is this? Why are we having to guess what you have?
You would have to read the instructions on the sound card to answer your MP3 question.
You may be able to just plug the speakers, powered of course, into the cradle and listen that way

So i have a 5.1 surround sound speaker system, but i can't hook it up to the laptop. So i'm wondering if the external sound card will help that?
Also, i'm getting a cradle for my mp3 player. The cradle has a line-out plug for speakers, so i was wondering if i could hook my cradle up soley to my speakers through the external sound card or something else?
can anyone help me? haha
thx
