There has been plenty of people asking about how to get there newly purchased surround sound speakers to come through all of the speakers not just through the 2 speakers.

Note this is not true surround sound just a means to get every speaker to function from the Macs headphone jack.

You will need the following:
-Audio Line splitter (Headphone jack to RCA sound inputs)
