Will this make logitech z506 speakers work in true surround with a laptop that only has 2.0 stereo audio port?

The simple answer is "No": you can't make TRUE surround-sound out of a stereo signal - the information just isn't there to be used.There are various tricks that can be used to simulate greater depth of sound, but they won't result in reproducing what you'd get with a 4- , 5-, or 6-channel source and speakers to distribute it: they'll just produce something with more apparent depth than normal stereo by filtering which part of the stereo signal goes to which speakers so that they do produce sound differences that may give the impression of better immersion in something (though not necessarily the original performance).

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI

6 Channel direct mode is for the analogue connections only. As long as you have the 3 wires hooked up correctly and your source configured right (your sound card, presumably) it will output 6 channels of audio. If your computer is only set to use 2 speakers for music or other stereo sources, you need to open up your sound card's control panel on your computer and play with the settings. You will never get surround sound out of one 1/8 wire, however, so a phone or MP3 player will only use the front 2 speakers (you may want to try using the Stereo x2 effect setting to duplicate the stereo to the back speakers on the Logitech head unit).

They will work but you will find volume to be quite disappointing, very low even at max, much better model is Logitech Z313

Lynanne From what I found on the Internet these 2 items should work together if the correct driver is installed. Regards Audio Systems Plus

only if you have built in speakers on the monitor than any audio cable the right type mono (one per channel), stereo. or what ever is the right type.I hope this helps, my audio card and speakers are separate and are more like surround sound.

No. They're made to be used with a separate receiver. Logitech makes some good pc speaker sets.

I'm not sure how your setup is but I run my speakers out the back jacks and headphones from the front jacks, use your sound card manager to spit them, I am using Realtek for Asus, pretty user friendly

i'm running ubuntu and it works perfectly... nothing special needed to work... you may need to go to sound settings to make sure it's your default audio output.

It depends on your computer. Unless it is a "basement special" it probably has speaker "outs." Just plug in the logitechs. Best wishes. I really enjoy mine.

It depends on how you set it up but yes. I didn't get great sound when I did it that way, with computer speaker, though. Using the same speakers hooked up directly to my laptop gives much better sound.

Yes - I installed it in my Logitech z5500 sound system and works great. No other modifications necessary.

I don't think so, this is a low-end surround setup so probably not. i can check for sure if you want?

You cannot, they answer this question on their website:https://sewelldirect.com/usb-soundbox-71-and-51-sound-cardQuestion:Could this product be the link between my blu-ray player and my Logitech z506 surround speakers? My blu-ray player has an optical output and my speakers have 3x3.5mm inputs for the 5.1 surround sound.Answer:Unfortunately no, it wouldn't work that way. This converts USB sound from a computer to analog output, it can't convert a toslink to analog output.

Yep. Make sure you download the right drivers from the Logitech website and you'll be fine.

I actually just did this to my set. I have had this logitech speaker setup for well over 5 years now, and I just early yesterday morning thought to myself...wonder if adding 2.0/2.1 speakers would work. For my setup, it did. I simply plugged the 5.1 into three of the jacks (I selected Center/sub (orange), Rear (black), and Side (green cable plugged into grey due to the 2.0 speakers having shorter wire). Then I simply added the 2.0/2.1 speakers into the green jack. You will need to play with speaker audio levels on your computer, but for me, they worked well. I tested in Fallout New Vegas and Batman A.A. and it was great. Can't believe I didn't try this earlier.

I believe so. I use Linux, I had to select this device as output. Go to your sound configurations and do the same, it should work.
