My dilema is as follows. I just bought a new Soundblaster card for my PC (Audigy 4 - not pro edition), which is capable of 7.1 surround sound but I only want 5.1 surround sound. I have seevral speakers I've 'thrown together' to form a 5.1 surround system. Two front and rear left/right speakers whcih are just standard PC powered left/right stereo speakers, a woofer, and a front speaker. The SB card has three line out jacks, though. Green, black and orange.

The line 1 out (green) is as per usual a standard stereo out jack for front left and front right speakers (in 5.1 sound configuration), so I can sort that out easy enough. But the line 2 out and line 3 out need this sort of cable which i don't know the name of and, despite searching I can't find it anywhere:

Does anyone know what that cable is, and where I can find one? I take it those red/yellow/white plugs are RCA? I found a stereo jack to 2 RCA but I can't find an audio jack that has three rings that split to three RCAs. I'd appreciate any help.

This one http://www.audiovisualonline.co.uk/d...m/display.html is primarily for stereo audio and composite video but I don't see why it shouldnt work for three audio signals
