Hey. Im thinking of buying a 5.1 audiosystem. But before I make this investment I need to know if my soundcard supports this. I have a Realtek High Definition Audio Soundcard... does anyone know if it supports 5.1? Or perhaps know where I can find out? I put some info of my soundcard on the pic below.
Thanks!

If it has the plugs in the back it will support 5.1.

As Carbon says, it's easy to tell, as there will be several different coloured jacks at the back, rather than your standard two.

Also, the "LowerLogoVersion" (which I know doesn't diectly mean anything, but it's a hell of a coincidence if not) is listed as "5.1"
