    Does anyone know how I will be able to get it ? I got like 4 5.1 cards and 2 7.1 but all they have is 3.5mm jacks on them. I read somewhere that you could do 2 3.5mm to RCA for 5.1 but I forgot what goes into what.

    So can someone help me please?

    3.5mm cables are 2 channel.. so you'd only need one plug to go to RCA

    Yeah I know, but you can use multiple cables from the soundcard to the amp or w/e. Mines got a decoder in it too.

    2 3.5mm jacks will offer 4 paths. 5.1 requires 12 paths.

    So no.

    Get 2 RCA converters, plug the front 3.5 jack into the front L and R on the amp, and the rear 3.5 into the rear L and R (front and rear revering to the 3.5 jacks labeled front and rear)

    I only got 1 r and l input. As I said 5.1 still works with one cable though. Got a decoder built in the amp or something.
