How to use its sound 7.1 ? Which cable I have to use for ?

Use HDMI into your receiver and it will drive 7.1 speakers with no problems, assuming that your video is encoded for 7.1 sound.

Yes I believe allows 7.1 and I have the same headphones and it works really well. I hope this helps

Open the App called "Audio Midi Setup" you can change default sound device in there for displayport cable connections.Connection must be plugged in before u open app.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews.

Sound channels are wrong? Is it because you are unable to match up the proper channels to those on the card? I ran into this issue for a bit but eventually found the right channels. Part of the issue is that I don't think the coloring is universal and 2 of the channels required using conversion cables. Otherwise I have 7.1 playing pretty well through these headphones.

All of the input/output connections on the back panel EXCEPT for the digital output use the common 1/8" DIN, male stereo cable. Note that if you want to produce Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 Surround Sound, each output needs a cable.

a 16 gauge wire is your best bet (just use the one provided in the suggested stuff) , as for your 7.1 set up, you'll need a 7.1 channel receiver and 2 extra speakers

I know it didn't work with Windows 7 via the USB. I used the audio out and connected it to the line input of my PC

Hmmm, I've not had this issue. Generally I use the usb plug on the unit and then can use its (somewhat primitive) menu via the tv/monitor. It works through all the channels for me. I suppose if you're looking for a 5.1 or 7.1 situation then it would depend on the audio file type. I hope this helps...

I think its more about your soundcard. If the laptop has a chip that boosts 7.1 then the headphones will get it. But if not then the headphones will try to recreate what they can but not likely anything more than 5.1. But just check out what your laptop pushes and that'll be the determining factor.

Excuse me friend, really advise you to use a cable for the connection of the TV with the sound unit (Cable optical) Disculpame amigo, de verdad te aconsejo que utilices un cable para realizar la coneccion del tv con la unidad de sonido

Yes, a 5.1 speaker set up will work with a 7.1 card. A 7.1 speaker set up would just have one more cord to plugin than the 5.1 so it's very simple to upgrade your speakers later

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'.

It has a line out (headphone jack basically). So headphones or a 7.5mm auxillary cable will work if you don't have the L/R RCA cable

Have done all this, but how do I get 5.1 sound from the external source? Sound only coming through the front speakers. What input should I be using on the receiver to get 5.1 sound from the external source? TIA.
