5.1 Sound on PC

[Potatoman]

I have a 5.1 speaker setup on my PC. There a 3 jack plugs (green, orange & black) When watching a DVD, what type of sound do i choose? Dolby Digital? EAX? DTX? There are so many formats! Im not sure what the speakers are. The card is a Soundblaster live 5.1 (the speakers have no SPDIF / digital jacks)

I would assume Dolby Digital, as this is the format most DVDs are supplied in. DTS is available on some discs, and is (possibly) superior.

 

You'll need to have the speakers etc set up properly to get the best effect.
