look, I'm mentioned
it would help if you tell what you have yes... with the cambridge soundwork (the ones I have) you have just two plugs: Front and Back you need to plug in

You might need a new sound card... I know they make sound cards with a decoder actually built in... not sure if that's what you're aiming for, or if you're looking for more of a way to just connect it to your decoder... if so, I'm sure there's some sort of card that offers a coaxial connection.. they have lots of crazy stuff out there, so I doubt they wouldn't make that.

I'm sorry, either I'm not awake, or I'm not registrating anything here... but I can't make any sense out of your reply currently
so... you plugged it in and it did not make a sound?
are you sure you plugged it in the right thing?

i plugged the coaxial in to a yellow port (suggesting it might be video) and nothing came out.... now either this port isn't an audio one, or i have to configure my PC to send audio out of that port

Onboard audio? The sound quality won't be that good - its done via software.
Anyway, what sort of outputs does it have? If it supports surrond there should be two seperate outputs for surround.

It looks as if it has a sound in and a video in... or out and out... either way, not very surround-friendly by the looks. Go get that adapter

the site said to change some setting on your speakers, since most soundcards come with surround sound anyway.... I hope

From what I've seen you don't have a soundcard, instead a motherboard audio component. Check your motherboard manual to see what sorts of sounds it supports.
From that diagram, it looks like one stereo output and one line-in input.
You should be able to mirror the front two sounds to the back two, but I don't know about surround sound. You need a special decoder that usually comes with modern soundcards.

How many speakers are in your "surround sound" out of curiosity... red and white just gets stereo, like Raz said...
