5.1 surround sound from Surface Pro 2

[Great deal]

Hi all,

Perhaps someone can advise me.

I have a SP2, i will get a dock soon and at my desk i have a Logitech Z5500 5.1 surround system. Right now my dektop PC is hooked up to it and i get great sound. How/can i connect SP2 (with or without dock) to get 5.1 surround into my system. I have attached pic of connections i have.

Your advice is appreciated!

Something like this should do the trick:

HDMI® Audio Converter - Monoprice.com

That does look cool, question I have is if I use the dock and from that i use display port to daisy chain 2 displays then I wont have HDMI from display port anymore, can I use any of the other connections (USB 3/2 Audio etc) to connect to the above to get 5.1?

Didn't see anything with usb3, but maybe you could still do it with that hdmi audio converter box.

They've got lots of kinds of minidisplayport cables - Search result for display - Monoprice.com

Mini DisplayPort Coupler (Female to Female) - 90 Degree - Monoprice.com
15ft 32AWG Mini DisplayPort to HDMI? w/Audio Cable - White - Monoprice.com

I'm not too familiar with minidisplayport, but I've ordered lots of stuff from monoprice. Great stuff, cheap prices!

I just have a USB X-Fi card that outputs to PC 5.1 speakers.
