[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 495763, member: 17032"] If you want the stereo channels that the macbook outputs to be mapped to the rear channels (Stereo surround), then get one of those converters from radioshack. But if you want true 5.1 surround, then besides an external soundcard or the FireWave, there's no other option. Of course, if your speakers have the option of upmixing it to 5.1 (Dolby Prologic) like an external amplifier/receiver, then you can very well use that. But for true 5.1 you will need a soundcard. Of course, the Macbook Pro/iMac has an optical out built in for SPDIF passthrough.. [/QUOTE]
