A:Answer it only has 3.5 mm outputs. You can put 3 3.5 mm speaker sets in or a optical audio cable to an exterior rcvr, and connect it to 5.1 speaker set up that way. 7.1 is only virtual. I would recommend if doing this getting 3 sets of speakers with subs and connecting them to the 3 - 3.5mm jacks and youll be amazed. It has "7.1 virtual" built into the card but no output for it if you were going to actually put 7.1 speaker set on. technically adding 3 speaker sets with a sub youll make yourself a 6.3 system that again, will blow you away.
