newbie help with delta 44 and 5.1 speakers....

[shunter4044]

Hey guys, i just bought a delta 44 sound card and was wandering if there is any way possible to use my current speaker setup with my delta 44. I am currently using a creative soundblaster live! LS soundcard that goes into my creative sbs 5.1 speakers. I would like to take out the soundblaster and hook up my delta 44 and try and find a way to hook up my 5.1 speakers to the delta. Im not looking for "surround" sound out of these, i just need something for playback while im saving up for my new studio monitors as these are the only pc speakers i have. Im a musician thats starting to dive into the recording world and am very new at all this stuff so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

The delta 44 does not support surround sound, but you can still use it as a 2.1 system (left, right, and sub). Make sure that outputs 1/2 are coming from the main "Monitor Mix" in the Delta control panel. Then connect outputs 1/2 to the L/R inputs on your sub, respectively. Then, connect the satellites to your sub and you should be good to go.
