Trouble getting sounds through surround sound

I recently bough new Apple TV, I have Samsung TV, Samsung DVD surrounds sound system and PVR. Have tried to connect Apple TV to the current setup but only way to get sound is by plugging the optic cable from PVR into Apple TV. Can anyone possibly run me through setting up from scratch? Thanks

This is something you need to configure though your TV and or "entertainment/surround sound system". It has nothing to do with AppleTV. So no one on this fourm would be able to help you.

Cannot get 5.1 Surround Sound with optic fiber cable (Mini Toslink)

I have a Macbook Pro (Early 2011 Model) and after spending lot of time I figured out that the best way to get 5.1 surround sound output is to connect the MBP to the AV Receiver with the optic fiber cable (Via Mini Toslink Adapter). So after reading all the articles and forums on it, I went and purchased the cable and adapter and hooked up my MBP to my AVR 142 Harman / Kardon receiver.
But now I’m still not able to not get Digital 5.1 surround sound!! Additionally, in Audio MIDI Setup (under Utilities), I can only select Stereo from the drop down menu, as "5.1 Surround" and every other option, such as 7.1 surround are grayed out.
Is there anything that I have missed out in the setup? or do I have to try some other method to get the surround sound??
Please Help!!

ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
Bummer..
I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.
FWIW

Guide : Getting 5.1 surround sound. Audigy 2

Hi all
I thought I would write up a really quick but effecti've and simple guide for owners of the Audigy2 ZS and seeing how its Xmas time, I can assume a few lucky boys and girls may have this awesome card under the tree.
Most of whats covered should work with all creative products.
(Sorry, but I WILL NOT cover any info regarding encoding media or the like that will conflict with copyright laws)
This guide is for setting up your Creative Audigy 2 ZS for surround sound 5. reproduction and information in regards to required Filters/Codecs. I have not included any advanced set up options or the like as the ZS with the set ups I have incluced here will cover it out of the box.
One of the most common issues people may have with 5. not fuctioning correctly while playing a DVD movie ( Mpeg ) or any multi channel media that is 5. encoded, has to do with Codecs/Filters.
Most media players will not decode all AC3filters/Mpeg, thus require extra filters/codecs/plugins to be installed.
Ok , the first thing to do is ensure your sound card and speakers are set up correctly.
Most common speaker sets have 3 plugs that go in the back of your card .
EG, Logitech X-530. Pink = Front Centre.Black = Rear left and right. Green = Front left and right.
Ensure they are in the correct place and are tightly fitted.Ensure your sound card is secure and tightly in place.Make sure your speaker cables are tidy and not a big tangled mess.
Ensure in device audio controls that SPDIF passthrough is NOT ticked as this is for optical output ( the ZS pro with rack fuction )
Update to the latest drivers an media source ap
ps.
A few little things to set up first in Creative Mixer Control Panel to ensure cleaner sound:
Lower Master and Wav volume in Creative mixer to about 90% as to avoid any over dri've disstortion.Lower Master Bass Volume to about 90% to avoid over powering the bass.Ensure that your speaker settings Windows control panel and Creative speaker settings match your speaker set up..
Also run the THX Speaker Callibration test in basic mode.
YOU SHOULD DISSABLE CMSS IN EAX CP IN ORDER TO GET 5. TO FUCTION AS IT SHOULD.
CMSS is to be use only for a MONO or STEREO source/signal. It is for sending the stereo/mono signal ( left and right) to all speakers. This is not 5., mearly it is the same signal sent to all speakers to give you a more rich and vivid sound reproduction of an other wise flat source.
Turn off any EAX FX.
Things you want to do to ensure stable use:
SHUT DOWN CTHELPER:
A background task that is a plug-in manager for Creative drivers. A 3rd party manufacturer can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers, add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative?s sound drivers and utilities. Gi'ven its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 00% of CPU time so it's best left disabled unless you REALLY need it .
Type in run "msconfig" and shut down all Creative Start up entries. Infact its proberly best to shut everything down.
NOTE: Any essentinal Software for the proper fuction of devices ,Eg: Razer mouse utils should be left on.
Simple Bios settings to help improve audio and stablity:
Dissable Pallette Snoop.ANY AND ALL shadows for devices, EG VGA BIOS and system bios should be dissabled. If you have the setting for PCI latency in your bios ( AGP boards only ) set it to 64, if its already at 64 try 32 .
Shut down ( remove, reconmended ) any 3rd party tweak apps that run in the background.
EG, Cache Man and any monitoring software.
Ok, now for Filters/Codecs and Plugins.
A major required Filter is AC3. (ac3filter__0a_rc5)
AC3Filter - it is DirectShow filter for AC3 decoding to play AVI with AC3 audio tracks and MPEG2 (DVD). Required for WMP.
NOTE: If you have DVD software that should play encoded 5. then make sure you have any updates/patches for the player installed and go through the tools/options for the player and ensure its setup correctly to decode AC3filters in the applictions tools menu.
If you use Cyberlink Power DVD you may need to pay an extra fee to get the required AC3filter/MPEG2 decoders to fuction as all 5. sound settings may be greyed out on some dated versions.
InterVideo WIN DVD ( this software suit comes with most "Asus" if not all makes of Mainboards. This suit comes complete with the required codecs/filters so get full surrport for 5. - 6. - 7. out of the box. Note: you must set it up first under audio options as it defualts to 2..
If you use WMP0 you should download and install the AC3filter or get the latest XP codec/filters packs. With out these filters you may not get 5. sound and/or poor reproduction.
Supported file types:
The following table lists the file types (formats) supported by Windows Media Player .(For files type played by Power DVD or WIN DVD please refer to the makers website or read me file for a detailed list).
File type (format) File name extension .
Music CD Playback (CD audio) .cda Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) .aif, .aifc, and .aiff Windows Media audio and video files .asf, .asx, .wax, .wm, .wma, .wmd, .wmp, .wmv, .wmx, .wpl, and .wvx Windows audio and video files .avi and .wav Windows Media Player skins .wmz Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) .mpeg, .mpg, .mv, .mp2, .mpa, .mpe, .mp2v*, and .mpv2 Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) .mid, .midi, and .rmi AU (UNIX) .au and .snd MP3 .mp3 and .m3u DVD video .vob Macromedia Flash .swf Microsoft Recorded TV Show .dvr-ms*
NOTE: WMP defualts to 2.. To enable 5. run WMP0. Click on tools then point to options. Navigate to DVD then open up the advanced window. In here is everything you need to set things up.
NOTE: If you mess things up simply return to defult settings and start over.
Some common errors you may encounter with WMP.
Error messages are identified by numerical IDs, such as C00D0BC2 and 800704CF. You can determine the ID of a specific error message by clicking the More Information or Web Help button on the error message when you encounter it. The resulting page will indicate the error ID.
: Error's C00D6A and C00D9A while playing DVD's or MPEG-2 content.
This is directly related to either your current video card drivers or the MPEG-2/DVD decoder you have installed (EG: PowerDVD, Win DVD etc ). Reinstalling and/or uninstalling the MPEG-2/DVD decoder (PowerDVD, Win DVD ) and/or video drivers should fix the problem for you.
You should now be able to re-install you decoder ( Power DVD etc ) and continue its use.
Erro : C00DAC:
Cannot play the file Windows Media Player cannot play the protected file because there is a problem with your sound device, such as a sound card or sound controller. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons.
Your sound device requires an updated driver. ( update driver )
The selected sound device does not support Secure Audio Path (SAP).
If you have multiple sound devices installed on your computer, try using a different one.
To use a different sound device, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Devices tab. Double-click Speakers, audio device to use, click a different device.
Error : "divide error in module IVIAUDIO.AX at".
Only exists in systems that have various Sound Blaster Li've sound cards and WinDVD installed.
This is infact a compatibility problem between these products. The problem is realized when MP3 oriented applications call upon certain sound card services making it look as though the error was raised from within the application in question.
FIX:Uninstall WIN DVD. Reinstall WMP and AC3 filter and then reinstall DVD WIN.
A simple but rare issue.
ModName.Win DVD "msvcrt.dll" and/or Win DVD MFC application error.
FIX:
Uninstall any java filters. Macromedia and Macromedia Acti'veX.

What are codecs Codecs/Filters.
Codec stands for Coder/Decoder. Basically it is a piece of software or a driver that adds a support for certain video/audio format for your operating system. With codec, your system recognizes the format the codec is built for and allows you to play the audio/video file (=decode) or in some cases, to change another audio/video file into that format (=(en)code).
For example, when you install Windows to your home computer, Windows installs automatically most commonly used codecs into the system, so you don't have to download them separately from their vendors. However there are some codecs that are widely used, but not installed by Windows. Most notably DivX , MPEG-2.
Get all the Codecs/Filters/Plugins you could ever need from:
http://www.free-codecs.com/AC3_Filter_download.htm (ac3filter__0a_rc5)
http://www.free-codecs.com/
NOTE: ( XviD-.0.3-2022004 for Divx ) Stand alone codec for playing Divx instead of the Divx full install.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...0/default.aspx
Ok, you now should be all set.
However Codecs/Filters/Plugins are like any other kind of software installed and things can go wrong. If things are not working as they should try the following.
Download and install "Gspot"
http://gspot.headbands.com/download.htmlBuild 0307 - 23 KB Run the programme and simply point to system and select "List Codecs and other Filters"
Its a no brainer really to know whats what here and how to use it to find out the source of the issue, if you have one. If its red, its bad so you then need to trace the Filter/Codec to its source and remove it.
Here is just one very simple excample you may encounter and how it was fixed.
If you have ffdshow file is missing error pop up while running a player application, first go to C:\WINDOWS\system32 and search for ffdshow.en. Its proberly not here though. If it is just leave it be.
NOTE: ffdshow is used for AVI/Xvid enc/dec source.
To fix this "ffdshow Video Codec file is missing " error Simply uninstall your Xvid codec or your entire DivX programme, or any other Filter/Codec you have installed for playback of DivX files and AVI Video Files.
(Some times it seems a few Codecs/Filters dont get along so you must be aware of what you install).
Cheak "Gspot" again and Filter should be removed from the list.
Now you can reinstall the Xvid filter "XviD-.0.3-2022004" or your desired DivX programme.
Now go back toC:\WINDOWS\system32 and search for ffdshow.en. It should be there if it was not before. If the issue is back try a different version of required Filter.
So, thats just excample of a simple fix that got everything working again. Its not to hard to find out what the problem Codec/Filter is and then its just a case of uninstalling it. You can re-install the Codec/Filter but you should double cheak with "Gspot" and ensure the issue has not repeated itself .
If it has you can try and find out if the issue is related to another type filter causing a conflict or use an alternate Filter/Codec that will perform the same task .
Search for an updated version of required the Codec/Filter also.
Ok, thats pretty much the basics in getting correct and stable 5. sound working the way it should with your new Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
I hope this has been of help.
Regards,xmn.

Apple TV...how to connect to get sound through my sound system (I have a satellite receiver and also Russound system)

Just hooked up my Apple TV. It's great. I have a satellite receiver and also a multi room sound system where I would like the sound to come through. Can anyone tell me how I would connect to accomplish this. My HDMI is connected so the sound is coming through my TV just fine. I would like it to come through my sound system instead. Your assistance is very much appreciated.

Hi:
My system is as follows. 1 only HDMI output on TV. I purchased an HDMI switch box/unit. I have the output from the Switch Box Unit going into my TV.
I have 5 inputs on the switch box unit. 2 I have used.....
1 input from my television satellite receiver
2 input from my Apple TV
My other equipment is
1 home theatre system. This is where the sound from my TV goes through
1 russ sound whole home sound distribution system
When I play my Apple TV I am still getting the sound of my satellite TV.
This suggests that your satellite receiver is connected to your "home theater system" (which I will shorten to AVR "Audio/Video Receiver") for audio. Is this correct?
If so, then your problem is that you're switching video inputs, but not audio, and what I listed as (2) applies:
2. You can connect the ATV to the TV using HDMI. Then you can either:
2a. Connect the TV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
2b. Connect the ATV to the AVR using an optical cable for audio.
You've connected the ATV to the "switch box" instead of the TV, which amounts to the same thing, as you're just expanding the number of HDMI ports on the TV by using the switch. So your simplest solution is either 2a or 2b. If your TV has an audio out port, and it's the same kind of port that your satellite receiver uses, you can just disconnect the audio cable from the satellite receiver and plug it into your TV. You may have to enable "external speakers" or whatever they call it in the TV settings. This would be best, because then you wouldn't have to change inputs on the AVR to select the correct audio; you would just change inputs on the switch, and both video and audio would switch between the satellite box and the ATV, solving your problem. Note that an optical cable is required to get Dolby Digital 5.1 audio (surround sound), and I mention that because it's possible you're using an analog audio (RCA) cable. So an optical cable is best.
Beyond this, I would really need to know your TV and AVR model numbers, preferably accompanied by links to specification pages or manuals, and it would be very helpful to know how the satellite receiver is connected to the AVR for sound.

Can I get 5.1 Surround Sound from Mac to Apple TV?

Hi,
I have an iPad, iPhone and an Apple TV, and I love airplay, such a great feature!
I'm thinking of replacing my desktop for a mac and I was wondering; if I had a 5.1 surround encoded video file on my mac, would I be able to push the whole screen to Apple TV through mirroring and still get the 5.1 sound output to my audio receiver and speaker setup?
I'm NOT asking if I can airplay an mp4 encoded movie through iTunes at 5.1; I know I can already do that on my desktop and it works fine.
What I'm looking for is the ability to simply mirror what's playing on the mac to my hdtv through Apple TV, while still retaining the full 5.1 surround mix and outputting it to my audio receiver (i.e. Without having to convert the file type and drag it or play it in iTunes).
So before I take the plunge and spend over a grand on a mac, is this possible?
If this isn't possible I will probably just get a Mac mini and plug it directly into my receiver via hdmi. I can't see any problems doing it that way (I hope!)
Any info here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your assistance, but I spent quite some time researching this before posting, and the post you link to (which I've already read) doesn't actually answer my question, that person is asking about his wireless speakers receiving individual sound channels through airplay. Other discussions, which I've also looked at, seem inconclusive.
I was really posting in the hopes of finding anyone who had personal experience of trying to play a fullscreen, 5.1 surround video file using airplay mirroring from their mac to their Apple TV, and if they received 5.1 sound.
Thanks again for your help though.

Sound no longer playing through Surround Sound via TV

I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now and recently purchased a new 3D LG TV. Prior to that I had another LG hooked up through it and have a Panasonic surround sound system set up with I believe it's a Gefen digital to analog converter, because unfortunately LG only makes digital and alls that is available is analog through my surround sound. I have always been able to listen to my computer through the surround sound, however, since I purchased this new TV I have not been able to. The sound plays through the TV speaker but will not play through the surround sound yet when I change inputs over to my PS3 or DirecTv I can hear everything else except my computer. This is why I am convinced it is the computer and not the TV. I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something needed to change for this type of TV or what. I am pretty technical when it comes to electronics so I have tried changing all different types of settings and played around trying to fix this but so far no luck so who has an idea or ever heard of this before?

@mndwgz and Lousyfool
Sorry for the delay, however, I was out of town and just getting back to this issue. I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the computer settings or something of the sort because like I said prior to me switching tv's it has worked no problem, both of which were connected the same exact way. Both LG tv's only have an optical digital output port on it while my Panasonic surround sound only has an A/V input. To solve this I have a Gefen Digital to Analog converter in between the connection from the TV and the Surround Sound, so my computer is not connected anything in between the computer and HDMI connection to TV. Sound comes out of the TV through the computer but will not bypass through the TV to the Surround Sound. However I know it's not the TV settings because my PS3 regardless of the HDMI input plays sound through and over all my speakers. I have not tried rerunning my computer through the old LG LCD tv connect the surround sound as well to see if it worked because all the way up until I switched to an LED tv, it had. It's weird how this is a problem but have tried switching settings, changing inputs, problemsolving etc. but just don't see how my PS3 is converted through the tv to the converter to the surround sound and my mac mini is not!
Old LCD TV- LG model 42LH30
New LED TV- LG model 47LM6200
Surround Sound- Panasonic model SA-PT950
Converter- Gefen Digital to Analog Converter

Surround sound through external sound system

I have read a number of posts on connecting home entertainment systems to Apple TV. My setup is Apple TV - HDMI to TV, and Optical Audio to AV receiver. The receiver can process Dobly surround, DTS etc. But it does not have HDMI. I get sound through the system no problem, but cannot seem to get 5.1 surround. I have all the settings on the TV and Apple TV set to 'dolby out' etc, but when playing HD movies with 5.1 surround, I don't get the 5.1 output.
Apple TV seems to be playing its audio out through HDMI to the TV rather than out thru its own optical audio to the receiver. I'm not getting 5.1 output through the TV decoder either, which also also hi def. There must be something really simple I am missing here?

Hey thanks heaps for the suggestions
Yes the reciever is set up to recieve digital - it plays 5.1 surround with ordinary old DVDs and it has three other digital optical ports - I have the TV decoder plugged into one of them and the apple TV into another
Apple TV is definitely set to "dolby out" in the audio settings
The reciever displays the speakers its recieving signals for and in 5.1 it displays "Dolby" with the 5 speakers - what I am seeing is just two speakers on its display - and this is all I see during the Apple TV intro movie as well - sound indicates just stereo also
Also when I remove the optical audio from the back of Apple TV I still get sound, indicating that it is outputting sound through HDMI to the TV, which in turn is connected to the reciever via optical audio. So Apple TV is not outputting any sound out of the optical audio out jack.
Could it be a hardware fault? The unit is brand new!
Thanks

Live TV through Surround Sound

I reciently purchased a 47in LG. I am trying to connect it to my Sony 6600 surround sounds system and to my HDDVR box. I think I have everything figured out except I can't get the live tv sound through the surround sound. I have an digital optical audio cable but can't figure out which two ports to plug it into. I have tried TV to reciever and cable box to reciever but can't get either to work. Any advice?
Solved!

Thanks that fixed it. Never would have thought of that.

Apple TV 2 through Surround Sound

I just bought Apple TV 2 as my Dad wants to stream football games onto our New Hisense SmartTV. My only problem is that I want Apple TV to play through the LG DVD reciever surround sounds speakers instead of the inbuilt internal TV speakers. The surround sound speakers already works with normal TV channels and I want to keep it that way but want able to play it also with ATV2. At the moment ATV2 is only playing through the internal speakers, making me having to change the sound settings on the TV, so that internal is on again. The DVD receiever doesnt have HDMI only analog ports and an optical in. If i buy an optical fibre cable and run it from the ATV2 to the dvd receiver will that make the sound work through the speakers?
What's the best / easiest way to go?

Yes, Toslink Digital Optical cable is cheap from Amazon and connects from Apple TV into your audio receiver (the device to which your surround sound speakers are connected). BUT Make sure you have the Audio & Video setting in your Apple TV right (Doby Digital, etc.) and that when you are playing Apple TV through your surround sound speakers. If no sound comes out, make sure that your surround sound device (DVD/Blu Ray player, etc.) is set to the right function: TV, not DVD or regular audio.
This blog has a short tutorial about this too: http://www.caramooneydesigns.com/blog/2015/01/12/how-to-connect-your-apple-tv-to -surround-sound-speakers/
Hope this helps!

I can't get 5.1 Surround Sound running Windows 7, Mid-2010 Mac Pro

Hello,
So I'm running bootcamp on my Mid-2010 Mac Pro and I can't get Dolby Surround Sound to run from the Realtek HD Audio Manager. Is there a way to produce true Dolby 5.1? I understand this may be more bootcamp related than to the actual hardware itself but I figured this is the best place to start troubleshooting this.
Thanks

I can try-dunno how much help I'll be, though
go here for Realtek drivers for surround sound
http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=37&Level=5&Co nn=4&ProdID=144
try this: go to Windows Sound, then playback devices, then click on speakers icon (should have realtek as default). Click on that, and click configure
if realtek has a sound manager, try clicking on that, and a config dialog might appear
sorry can't be much more help than that

FM radio through surround sound speaker

Hi!
I hope someone can help me with some suggestions: My new house has 5 built-in speakers in the family room - they are wired into the cupboard (no connectors on any of the wires). We don't want to hook a TV up to it (we have this set up somewhere else) but we really would like to, simply, listen to the radio through the speakers.
How do I this? What do I need? I don't want it to be expensive (and I am really not into lots of high-tech equipment!)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi LJS736,
What kind of connection exists to hook up a source to the speakers?
The answer may be as simple as an adapter cable to come from a headphone or line out jack on a boombox/radio to the connection for your speakers.
You also may want to consider expanding the radio possibilities by using an HD radio receiver or satellite radio instead of traditional FM radio, giving you many more channel options.
Below are a couple suggestions for HD or satellite radio. Good luck!

Play itunes through surround sound

Hi,
just wanted to ask if anyone knows how to play itunes through all 5 speakers of a surround system, and not just the front two (i.e. stereo)?
Many Thanks

I bought an iMac instead. Much better/easier solution.

No sound on surround sound sys

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic card and need to know?where to connect the audio plug that leads to my 5. system. Line out has my computer speakers (2.) and I tried connecting the other plug to line-out 2 and then 3 but get no sound. The only way to hear a movie via my computer on my tv and 5. set-up is to use a 2for adapter in line-out with my computer speakers. ?

What kind of speakers are they exactly?
The X-Fi Xtreme Music has 3 outputs on the back of the card, if you are using analog 5. speakers then you should use those outputs.
Check this image of the card.
The outputs you need are:

Trouble getting internet through Airport Express

I am trying to set up the most basic wireless network with a cable modem, Airport Express and G4 Powerbook running 10.4.6. I have went through all the steps of setting up the modem then the Airport Express and configuring it with Airport Admin. and all that. I get perfect signal from the express but when I open Safari it doesn't do anything. It doesn't come up with the network diagnostic "Not Connected to the Internet" screen or anything. When I plug my modem directly into the Powerbook through ethernet it works fine.
It seems as though I am just missing a step or an option or something like that.
I have also tried to use my roomates old Motorola WA480G wireless router with similar results. I can get Wi-Fi signal through the Airport card but Safari brings up the network diagnostic screen.
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)
G4 Powerbook

I am having this exact same problem, only using a Dell laptop with Windows XP instead of a Mac. I had my Airport Express set up on a LAN at work a couple of months ago and it worked perfectly. It's been in storage for a couple of months, and now that I am trying to set it up at home with my cable modem, I can't get it to connect to the internet.
When I plug the modem in with an ethernet cable everything works perfectly. But when I plug it into the airport (after doing the power down/power up process) the LED goes solid green, but nothing will load in my browser. I can use other wireless networks without problem.
I also can't get it to print anymore. When I plug the printer directly into my computer it prints just fine. But when I plug it into the airport, it won't print. I've set the printer up using Bonjour, and the Airport Admin utility detects the printer. But when I print I get an error message saying that the printer failed to print the document.
Any ideas?

???????????HOW TO GET SURROUND SOUND ON MACBOOK???????????????????????

I have a macbook osx 10.5.8. I purchased some Logitech X-540 5.1 surround sound speakers to hook up to my laptop. There are 3 cables (an orange, green, and black) that come from the different speakers/subwoofer that are supposed to plug into the computer, but i can only plug in 1 of the 3 into the headphone jack my macbook. Here's some pics of the speakers:

When I do so, only some of the speakers play, not all of them. I went to BestBuy and asked someone if surround sound is possible for a macbook, but he said "no". I have seen online many people claiming it is possible to get 5.1 surround sound for mac, but haven't figured out how. Can someone please be of some assistance????

Since you only want to play CD's why not just use the two for the normal Left/Right channels your CD was created with?
If you want to use ALL of your speakers, you'll need to invest in a USB or Firewire device that will connect to your Macbook and then allow you to connect all your speakers.
