I would think it would work. With most 4.1 systems there is an audio in/out for both sets of channels, so I am assuming yours is no exception. And since today's Macs have one audio port you can't combine the two audio plugs into the one socket. That's why you need a Y audio splitter.

As for 5.1 to 4.1, the only way I can think of is if you get the splitter, as I mentioned before, and disable the center channel (meaning disconnect the center plug at both in/out). Then plug in the left and right channels to the splitter.

No guarentees, but I would think that's how it works.

Nope. It'll fake it though.

All a splitter will do is duplicate the stereo sound for tha rear speakers, it won't give you true 4.1, it'll be 2+2.1

To get true surround sound you're going to have to get a set of speakers that accepts a S/PDIF input and hook up something like a Sonica to it.

But most speakers only have analog inputs so you're out of luck for real surround sound.

Too bad, I was looking forward to hearing bullets whiz by me in MOH. So do you guys know of a set up that will work in 10.2, or am I completely out of luck? My pc friend has his system up and running and it's sweet. He has a Creative usb 4.1 controller and Klipsch pro media 4.1 speakers and he gets surround.
