How to Connect an Altec Lansing AVS500
The Altec Lansing AVS500 is a type of 4.1 digital surround sound speaker set designed for Windows-based computers. The set includes four speakers and a subwoofer (the subwoofer accounts for the ".1" in "4.1"). Hooking up your Altec Lansing AVS500 to your computer isn't that different than hooking up a regular set of speakers --- it still plugs directly into your sound card, albeit in a slightly different way.
