Really noob question

[cupholder2.0]

Dont know much about sound, I got an Intel D945GNT which has 8 channel Sigmatel onboard audio (HD), it only has 3 output things in the back, how can I connect my Logitech X530s (5.1) to this thing?

Dosn't your speakers have 3 inputs?
I know that I only use 3 outputs to 3 inputs to my 7.1 speakers?
It should be listed in your motherbaord manual what the outputs are?
But usually it's green to green, black to black and orange to orange if they follow Creative's color coding, wich I don't know if they do?

Yeah, my bad the mobo has one of the green and than the blue and green which are like mic thing.

Heres what Intel says:
configurations: 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem with five analog audio outputs and one S/PDIF optical digital audio output using the Sigmatel 9223* audio codec
6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem with three analog audio outputs using the Sigmatel 9220* audio codec

The board looks kind of like this (almost)

Newegg also says 8 channel audio.
