Greetings, im buying audio card on my PC so I can experience surround sound 5.1 on my samsung ht c350, because for now its only plug via RCA and produce only stereo.

if your home theatre setup has hdmi input you can use the hdmi output on your graphics card for sound to your surround setup. it will sound far superior to using a sound card then sending analogue signals to the surround system.

you need to right click on your speaker icon in the lower right of desktop, go onto playback devices and change it to the hdmi sound.

you also will want to configure it for 5.1 surround output.
