    Are these speakers compatible?

    I just ordered the Klipsch - ProMedia 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System (3-Piece). I have a Vostro 1500 laptop and was wondering if these will work? It says to plug it to the sound card and I don't know where that is? Anybody know anything about this?

    If it's a 3.5mm jack or USB you'll be fine. Theres really not many other output types for computers besides for those main two.

    BTW, having you're e-mail as you're username - bad idea. Spam bots will be spamming you like mad.

    You can just plug them into the headphone jack of your laptop.

    Yeah 2.1 should work fine since they need only one 3.5 mm jack.... 4.1 and 5.1 should also work I think but not so sure though if the jacks can be soft configured for functionality......
