Hello guys, not sure if this is the right section for posting this, but here it goes.
A friend of mine bought the Philips 5.1 system from overclockers to connect with his MacBookPro. Thing is when he got them, he called me to instal them, and I noticed he didn’t have a 5.1 support. I searched on google and couldn’t come across any 5.1 support for macs, apart from a TOSHLINK cable i think it was callled, which basically utilizes the optical output from the Mac(?) but the speakers don’t have such an input.
So what can I tell him to do? Best bet so far is to buy three splitters, connect the first one onto the MBP then the other two onto the first splitter and then the speakers onto those.
Anyone knows if there’s an external solution for this? I only came across the Creative external USB 5.1 card which only supports Windows OS(as said on their page)
