Hi,
I have a pair of Z-5500, which uses 3x3.5mm. My soundcard however (SB ZXR) only has these: link to picture.

I can connect 1 3.5mm, but what about the other 2? Can I use a converter and just use the RCA, and it will be the same? While I do have optical, the sound is generally boring, and I cant utilize Creatives software when I use it.

My TV also has these in case that makes a difference: link to picture.

Thanks. :D

This might work, not 100% sure though.

Just use a RCA to RCA cable to connect to your sound card.
 
Looking at the manual (duh!) it completely explained how to setup 5.1. Turns out it has inputs for rear and center/sub, I just need a converter for the front. I should get the cable tomorrow and all should be working. :D
