sweet thanks, that got it...hence the topic name started with im dumb...

I just got a set of promedia 4.1's and they came with a tornado digital decoder. Since these two devices came as a package, i assumed all the cables would be present to set them up, and i believe thats where my problem lies, but im gonna go into it anyway in case its somethign else, or it least to find out what cable i need. The input is no problem, the output from the audio card is split into analog and goes into the decoder. However, the output on the digital decoder is divided into line, sub, surround, and center. There is no center speaker, so thats no problem. However, I cant help but notice that the promedia 4.1 system only has two cables to accept input, and they cant fill the line, surround, and sub output jacks. Thus, i either have no front speakers, no surround, or no sub. I dont really see any way of adding another input to the speakers besides splitting an existing one, but that doesnt seem right...Any suggestions?
