Hi guys..i just found an interesting news.

I'm going to buy an M-Audio Sonica at around NZ$225 and a headphone Zalman Theatre 6 at around NZ$125. But, when I check the plug cable of the headphone, they only provide 3 channel: Front, Center, and Rear.

When I look at the back of M-Audio Sonica, the in-plug they have was very different (See the attachments). Any suggestion how to make them as a great couple?

The m-audio is a 6.1 soundcard.

The headphones are 5.1. So you'll gonna have an extra output on the m-audio for that extra channel. Just plug everything to the front l/r, surround l/r, front center.

Set the the soundcard to 5.1 setting instead of 6.1 and everything should be fine. :)
