Question: Will I need to get a 5.1 sound card for my computer to use these speakers?
Document: Have had a Creative brand 5.1 speaker sys for over ten years and albeit only ten(10) watts, it is PLENTY loud for my small computer room. On scale of 1-10, I set it at about 3, so as to get optimum bandwidth, and it is loud enough to hear 30 feet away. Comes with a built in processor, I think, and hooked into Realtech(brand) sound card. I think it works BETTER w/ Creative Platinum or better card.
Hooked it up to my PC which is configured to use 5.1 surround in gaming, and I put all the speakers in the right place- surround speakers behind my desk on a bookcase.3 hours later one of the front speakers became very quiet, and eventually stopped working altogether. After examining it, I was able to restore sound by re-plugging the respective 3.5mm stereo jack into my computer. An hour later it happened again.
When you first get these speakers, they are so light you could be quite sure they are just junk. I use them for gaming and am absolutely delighted with them. I also bought the Creative Sound Blaster Z SBX PCIE Gaming Sound Card at the same time and work perfectly with no issues as you might expect. For the dollar, this set is quite delightful to the ears.
these are the best speakers i ever buy good sound quality great bass sound excellent 5.1 souround sound i love it for my computer.
I've had Creative speakers for years and have always been happy with them but these new speakers I bought just aren't anywhere near as good as the older ones.My old Creative Inspire 5.1 speakers are great and the Creative 2.1 speakers were good also. I got a new computer and I put the 2.1 speakers on it and decided to go for the new 5.1 speakers for better sound, BIG MISTAKE.The 2.1 speakers actually sound better than the new T6300 speakers.
When was the last time you were at a concert and the band played in front and behind you? It just doesn't make sense. So if you're strictly a music listener and have nothing that utilizes the 5.1 experience, These are overkill. Save some money, have a few less cords and get Creative 2.1 or 3.1 speakers.
These speakers are okay and have a good sound and all. The only thing I'm not to particularly fond of is they are all desk top only. They have no mounting capability. No one uses true 5.1 speakers without mounting them on something. They expect you to have tables to place the rear speakers on? I mount my surround sound from the corners of the ceiling and had to drill holes in them so could mount them.
The sound is fine and if you don't already have a pair of Creative 5.1 speakers, you can't go wrong with these but I was a little disappointed. I purchased Creative 5.1 speakers about 8 years ago and there's no real noticeable difference in the sound or technology AND the wires have gotten shorter. You'll be sitting VERY close to the subwoofer if you want these all in the right spot on your desk.
Bought these to replace my older Creative Labs  5.1 speakers that I've had for nearly 10 years. Hooked these up and was unsatisfied with the performance of these speakers. I was constantly switching them back and forth to compare the sound of both speakers and found that my older system gave a better sound presence than the new ones did. I tweaked all my settings to make them sound better ,but was still not satisfied. Needless to say I stayed with my old ones for now until I find something better.
Only had for a few days. Hooked up to my pc with Soundbladter card in it. These are really good sounding speakers and the price was nice. Replaced a very old 2.1 system.
Answer: I know this is an old question, but it is good for helping others,so if you are in windows, and have a computer with the pink/green/blue plugs on the back, you do not need extra equipment. as there are options to configre your speakers to your speaker set-up.
