Can I connect it to my old laptop and then to my 5.1 speakers to have all the speakers working?

It *simulates* 7.1. The actual speaker out is a standard 3 connector headphone jack (left, right, ground). I had hoped the microphone jack could be used as audio out, but I can find no way to make it do that. So the short answer is 'no'.

I purchased this for my son who uses it with his head phones. However if you have amplified speakers with a standard head-phone jack, then yes you can plug speakers into them.

The speaker is capable of utilizing a 3.5mm Jack, so yes you could plug in your laptop or anything that has a 3.5 Jack.

You should be able to connect the Stereo-Out (headphone) from the computer/laptop to the Aux-In. Not sure of your entire setup, but personally I think this unit will be an overkill as computer speakers.

If you connect the speakers to a receiver and then connect the computer to the receiver, then yes, you can. We have a computer connected to a receiver which connects our speakers and other components and it works just fine.

Yes, no problem! You need an HDMI cable coming from the laptop to the adapter, a VGA cable from the adapter to thr projector, and you can try to plug your speakers either to the adapter - there's an audio jack in it - or to the laptop itself. Either way it should work.

Yes. Will definitely work with windows 7 should work with any 5.1 speaker setup.

Yes although you will only get 5.1 instead of the possible 7.1 on ur receiver (2 ports would be unused unless u buy 2 extra speakers)

Absolutely, that should work no problem. I typically connect it to a windows 7 pc and headphones, but there's a line out jack that would work for connecting to a powered speaker setup.

My set up is currently only running 5.1 and has no problems. The layout of my living room makes it difficult to use all 7 speakers. If you choose this system and hook in the Audessy michrophone, it will realize only 5.1 are connected.

Yes if the speakers need 3 audio jacks and your laptop only has one this is perfect believe me it what I use because my logitech speakers need 3 and its what I use for my laptop :D

Sure. It comes with the necessary hookups for a headphone jack, I use mine with my laptop from time to time. Its rca in (red/white), and it has inputs for 5.1 surround.

You would need to run a cable from the laptop headphone jack to the speaker dock. The cable is included.

Certainly. All you need is a cable with the same plug on each end as will fit the sound output on your laptop.

Only if you have a 5.1 output. You should have 3 jacks: Front, Center, Rear. Otherwise if you only have the 1 jack (green color I think) you can use 1 pair of speakers and the sub. You would hook the green plug to the output jack of your laptop, and then hook the pair of speakers to the "FRONT" connection on he subwoofer.

No, it uses the old connectors from iPhones older than the 5. You might be able to find some sort of converter accessory that will allow you to connect to the speakers

Yes, but the computer won't drive the speakers directly. You'll need to connect the computer to an amplifier, and the speakers to the amp. I did something like this on my machine, using a Topping TP21 amp I purchased here on Amazon. Just search for "Topping" under the "Electronics" heading here to see some good choices.

No it will not, you need separate connection for a 5.1 system. You either need a high end laptop with the yellow/green/black connectors or a desktop with a sound card or built in sound card. If you have a Dell 630 your only option is to get external sound would be to go with a system that connects though USB.
