hook up speakers to laptop

Have a 5.1 speakers system that works well (ON OLD DESKTOP) with a Sound Card that has multiple cable connections. Green, black and Orangeish yellow.

The total number of connections on the speakers system are three (3)

Need to use these speakers on my LAPTOP....that only has a headphone speaker outlet and a microphone outlet (Port).

I looked for some adapter that takes all three cable connections and converts to one (1) but can only find adapters that reduce two (2) cables to one (1)

Can anyone help?

Re: hook up speakers to laptop

The microphone jack is an input so you would not use it.

You should be able to find a stereo cable that will connect to your headphone jack and on the other end have a pair of RCA Male connection for a right and left signal.

Then use the Logitech Game Console adapter to send the stereo signals into your three cables on the speakers.
