Hi guys..im having problem positioning my 5.1 ht..can any pro help?cause got wire..i dunno how to make it look nicer..the sub woofers are on the floor.right beside my pc..so ya..damn messy

[weib]

get a carpet, hide the wires underneath, easiest solution.
if not run the wirings across the ceiling using a trunking.
Anyway it'll be easier if you put the TV at the window then you can run the wires at the side of the wall.

The sub move it around to find the best position, when you find it, play around with it..i'd suggest you put it beside the cabinate or beside your couch..

BTW wheres your center speaker? lol
and why your surround speaker in the front?! go get stand and place it beside the couch.

thats why lah..the mid speaker behind my tv..like i said the wire problem very jat luck..hmm carpet seems to be a good ideal..but trunking normally how much ah.

i'm not sure mate..
check your hardware store..should be for cheap though.
but you have to drill in the trunking to your ceiling..alot of work..
carpet should work fine i guess.

now i have another problem..im currently using my ht for my com.today i tried to check the surround for the speaker..but my sub and surround dont seems to be working very well..or when im testing using the msi sound card speaker testing..my 2 front speaker got sound but the rest dont seems to have sound..im currently using a cable for 2.1 speaker..the one poke to the green hole for pc..and red and white for my HT..anyone have any idea why my 2 surround speaker wont respond when my sound card was testing?

your currently hooked up in 2.1 mode that's why.

you need an external decoder to feed your speakers a 5.1 channel signal

something like a creative ddts-100 or best is an av amplifier

like damn trobler some..got any ht that is specially made for pcs?lol..btw today i went to it show..saw this Sonic gear speaker if im not wrong..5.1 but the 5 speakers are build into a row..the sound not bad..199 the price..

[gabond]

5.1 is troublesome compared to stereo but well worth it for gaming and movies

there are many ht for pcs..but their either the 3-miniplug analog kind (creative) or digital signals (coaxial/optical) requiring the decoders we mentioned.

sorry bro not very good with the cable stuff...other then buying the decoders..the cables can solve the problem?if yes..which cable..and normally how much are the cables..

[gabond]

a simple breakdown

computer (digital out) > av amp/decoder > speakers

u need a digital cable from pc to av amp/decoder and then cables to connect speakers to av amp/decoder

i don't know how your ht speakers are designed...suggest you carefully go down and find out the inputs and outputs of decoder to see how they can fit with your speakers.

another option a forumer did was buy a cheap "no-brand" av amp and hook it up to his ht system
