Description
It’s a unique benefit: The Altec Lansing FX5051 system gives you genuine 5.1 surround sound with no hassles and no 6-channel sound card required! You simply plug a USB cable from your subwoofer into your PC and get six discrete channels of powerhouse sound. The FX5051 features dual drivers in every satellite, plus a “two-barreled,” isobaric subwoofer that gives you awesome bass in half the space. What’s more, it’s long on looks. The perfect complement to your flat-panel displays. Satellites feature removable bases for easy wall mounting. System includes a wireless remote.
6-channel sound card? Forget about it!

R. Brown –
Now, I love Altec Lansing. However, and I’m not sure how your computer is handling these, these never played in 5.1 for me. And yes… I went through all the settings and connections and called tech support. It just fought with my computer from day one. The instructions wouldn’t be good for a beginning computer user… or even one that had never really messed with the sound controls before. After a two days of using these they started overloading my usb port when plugged in. I think the idea of these is perfect for a laptop… no very well executed. I ended up returning these.
