5.1 surround sound card
I m using DELL inspiron 6400 Laptop, with Sigmatel HD audio card installed in it, containing two 3.5mm jacks- one for external stereo speaker system and other for microphone/line in.

Help me determining that Can I buy and connect 5.1 channel home theater system to it and enjoy surround sound, or I need a new sound card.

Also suggest a good quality card if I need it.

If you have the money - this Logitech system has had many good reviews and you can pick it up for a good 40% less if you shop around

If you already have the speakers you could opt for one of these external sound cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102020

If you need further assistance please let us know.
