Hello, the truth in the specifications of the card only refers to 5.1 is silent in relation to speakers 7.1, I use it with Ligitech 5.1 speakers, I think you should find another model that is more specific, I put a link here; you can check this model that is compatible with 7.1 speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-Audigy-SB1550/dp/B00EO6X7PG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405118509&sr=1-1&keywords=sound+card+7.1

Only 5.1. Might try looking at HT Omega. Much better cards, better sound and real customer support. I returned this sound blaster card because my onboard sound was superior.

Creatives website states 5.1 Channels under specs for this card. Sorry man!

As long as you have a sub a center speaker hookup two front speaker hookups and two rear speaker hookups on the back of your receiver, it is a 5.1 surround sound, the sound is as good as a movie theater, I love my JBL surround speakers.

You can, but, You'll get stereo with RCA cables (2 channels), not 5.1 surround

Hey Slater, I pretty much have the same setup you just described, got the Son STRDG 720 last week and just purchased these speakers today. Which speakers do you think would be a good purchase to convert this system into 7.1? I have two large polk bookshelves at home although they are a bit old, what do you think?

As long as what you're viewing was saved with the 7.1 surround sound, yes. DVD movies for example should be fine, but some video streamed from the net will likely not be.

The zone 2 I am not setup yet, and 7.1 channel I don't know why I have out put only 5.1 or 5.2. I check the seting but still don't know how to get the out put for 7.1. I have 7 speaker and 2 subwoofer still try to setting up. I will let you know when I got it.Best RegardMinh

The only thing limiting your audio is your receiver. The newer Denons and Onkyos have HDMI ins and outs which should take care of the issue, not to mention enough room for a 7.1 rig. Best of luck.IRSSLEX

When you run the setup of what kind of speakers you configure it creates a profile of what you have which is what will be played from that point forward I have 7.2 setup and was only getting 5.2 until i changed it.

I believe there are several surround sound presets and that one of them is a 5 ch surround. Hope that helps...

I just set this system up in my living room and I did not have room for all 7 speakers. The manual states to set up the L & R surround speakers and not the back speakers for 5.1 sound. I followed the manual and ran the auto speaker calibration and it sounds great. The surround effect is amazing watching DVDs and cable TV movies.

Really it depends on your system and what you want to do. But typical surround setup would require just one center speaker and that is what this is. Fantastic sound quality and output as well by the way. I know I ordered these for a friend and set this up along with a pair of the bookshelf speakers and they sound great. Now my setup also allows me to only use this center speaker alone and I could not believe the output by this one alone. Hope this answer helps you and good luck. I would highly recommend this to someone looking for good surround speakers and have the money.

Sure. If you don't connect any Surround Back speakers, you've only got 5.1 channels.

I use a 7.1 system. Center speaker is an old sony that was leftover from one of those DVD/7.1 combo jobs.

No. Buy the 7.1 channel version and you will be able to have 5.1 in one room, and a two speaker system in another... but not with this model.

Hi George, this Sony KDL50W800B will only output 5.1 surround sound and not 7.1. This is the audio feature this TV set. -Ely

I haven't really used 5.1 surround, but I think for the jacks that supply sub, left surround right s, center, right and left front spekers you need to put a stereo splitter on the three jacks on the card. I'm not for sure but I know each of the three jacks supply two of the audio, that's all I know about surround. U might want to read the manual about which jack does what

Yes. I did myself to get 7.1. You can test it out with the movie "War Horse"' since it has 7.1. I can guarantee you will love these speakers.
