I have recently purchased iBall Tarang 4.1 speakers. It has only R-L input (RCA) and the pin (other side of cable for PC/Players) also has only one stereophonic jack (3.5mm) which I connect to my laptop. Another note, my laptop(Lenovo T410) also has only one 3.5mm slot (3-pin compatible for voice+mic).

Now I really don't know whether I'm getting proper surround sound or if not how to get it. All 4 speakers play with sub-woofer and with some testers in youtube I do see some noises from different angles but not sure if its coming in proper 4.1 channel. Any idea about this?

Thanks,

Enjoy~!
