Probably the wrong forum to ask this in, but I recently bought a 5.1 surround sound system for my PC. Installation went fine up until hooking it into my computer. You must understand, I had a cat invade my rig and tear some cords, so the normal audio jacks from the pc don't work, and i'm forced to use a USB audio stick. So, this audio stick only has one port, and i'm in need of five. Is there any sort of converter that I can plug all five into, and it converts it into on plug that I can put into the USB stick? Or is there a usb stick with 5 ports that I could use? Thanks in advance.

Would this do?

Edit: This is a bit overkill

In that case i'd have to buy five more of the audio converters, and even then I doubt that'd work. Plus it wouldn't be that cost effective. Thanks though.

Actually, I would buy from newegg, though. Here's a link to their USB hub search page.

Edit: oh, I see, I was a bit backwards in understanding what you meant. Lemme do a little bit of looking around.

I'm not sure myself but I doubt this would work well. There are five audio ports for a reason, using them all in one plug would only get all the sound information to be distributed equally to all the speakers, each one of them giving out monosound. But that's just my logic.

Edit: Okay I'm sorry I misunderstood.
