New computer needs speakers, none in the monitor.  What jacks are supplied on the MB?  Spec says it is ready for 5.1, but only one output?

Hello

 

I would like to provide assistance to you.

 

Your PC has three audio jacks on back tower.

 

Connections to 5.1 audio speaker system are as follows:

 

 

  • Front cable (green): To green jack (line out).
  • Rear cable (blue or black): To blue jack (line in).
  • Center/Subwoofer cable (orange, yellow or pink): To pink jack (mic in).


This should give correct sound.
