So, I just purchased creative inspire T5400 speakers. They have a subwoofer, a center speaker, 2 rear speakers, and 2 front speakers.
The problem with these speakers is that you need to have all 3 channels plugged in to hear all speakers. There's a cord for the sub/center, a cord for the rear, and a cord for the front. What I have is a laptop that has a single 1/8" line-out jack, and I also have a portable CD-Player that I want to use with these, which also has a single 1/8" line-out jack.
The problem is when I plug into the "Aux In" jack of the speakers, I only get audio from the front 2 speakers, and nothing else. What is the cheapest way for me to get to use my laptop and portable CD-Player with these speakers, yet have all of the speakers (rear, front, sub, center) all going at once?
