but i thought something like the m-audio sonica would be available through computer stores....cuz i never found anything on the computer store websites i usually go to (macwarehouse.ca and compusmart.com)
thats WAY too out of my price budget lolOriginally posted by edvniow
If you can find a cheap home-theatre-in-a-box system, you can buy the Sonica and hook it up to the optical input on that, but all that would probably cost you over $400 USD (don't know about Canadian).
well i was recommended the extigy so i thought bout that.....guess splitter it is...Originally posted by edvniow
The Extigy won't work it's for PCs only, sorry.
I remember some external USB sound cards from Yamaha and Onkyo that were out about a couple years ago and they had Mac support under OS9 and I just checked them out, but they discontinued them and as a result they don't support OSX.
You're best bet is to get a splitter, hook it up to the headphone jack and plug the other ends in the speaker inputs on your Logitech.
The comsumer sound card market is not too Mac friendly I'm afraid.
the 540 price on the link i gave is in CDN $$$Originally posted by beez7777
SilvorX- those logitech Z-540 speakers you gave a link for, can be bought for 79.99 from the logitech web page

tiz ok...it seems to be a better deal through the computer store website than on logitech.com (with conversion of course)..on logitech.com it would be bout $125 CDN while on the computer store it would be $119, doing some last decision mac thinking (before i make my last decision on sunday) and im trying to put something on my list that's $400 CDN to fill in the spot the ibook filled in (went from thinking to buy an ibook to thinking bout emac now)....hmmm so much things i could buy...most of it i dont need....an external sound card would be nice, but the only one i can find right now is the sonica..but it doesnt have the right imput for the speakers...Originally posted by beez7777
oops. sorry bout that, i should have seen your location right under your name.
