so i might need to get an optical out for my comp? on my realtek audio panel there it's also set to 5.1 output currently
for analog 5.1 from pc to receiver i.e. 3.5mm->RCA, you need three diff sets and three cables:
1) center/sub
2) front left/right
3) rear left right

find an optical out jack or get a sound card. much easier that way to run a single optical cable, toslink or coaxial.
