OK I have this speakers system

...and I want to connect it to my Sound Blaster Z , I have connected the speakers to the main unit, but what lead/s do I use from my sound card to the main unit please ?

Did you not get any cables with the speakers? Poor show from Microlab if you didn't.

You need RCA to 3.5mm cables. Link. You'll need three of them.

OK sorry for not getting back sooner .

Anyway ..I shall go on the look for those leads as posted above by Mars....also at the moment I have the speakers connected via Optical Lead that I found in a box of stuff I have , as the one it came with is awful the sound was very flat and crackly.

Shame there is no headphone port on the speakers though .

Thanx guys

tbh optical is fine from the SB

there should be an optical port on the SB Z

Yeah TwsT thats how it's setup , and it sounds nice too....just a shame I have to keep changing the setup in the SB UI when I want to use my headphones

you'd have to keep doing that anyway i'm afraid.

I wish it had a more on the fly button on the right click.

Yeah...that would be very handy
