I use Vegas 5.0 to edit video (and sound) and I'm thinking about upgrading my sound system to the M-Audio LX4 5.1 Surround System. My question is how are these speakers connected to the PC? Which sound card would be required?

Thank you in advance for input!

I can tell you that in order to connect from the 3.5mm stereo mini male plugs found on most sound cards to the mono 1/4" phone input these speakers require that you should get these cables.

I just picked up these speakers and cables and they work great. I happen to be using a Terratec DMX / 6 Fire card.

Here's a thread from the Video forum regarding connecting up these speakers. Be sure to read the two replies under that message because he went through a lot of trouble which I luckily avoided from reading the next reply and getting the above linked all-in-one cables.

The M-Audio Delta 410 has been discontinued (the PCI version, not the Firewire410) so it's going really, really cheap.
Look at some webstores and you'll see them as low as $113US.

Mario, the M-Audio Delta 410 for $113 appears not to have the large ganglia of cabling coming out of the back panel. The lowest I've found for online, so far, has been $149.

Thanks for the info guys!

I've found it for $113(including cables, installation CDs) at a reputable site. Contact me.
