We'll be buying a new PC soon and mum wants to know will those speakers work in the new pc? Or will they not be recognised? something to do with drivers?
Or will it just be a case of unplugging them from the old PC and plugging them into the one?
Question - old speakers on new pc?

When we got our WinME back in 2001 we also got a bloody good speaker system with it. A Camdridge Soundworks, Desktop Theater 5.1, DTT2500 Digital.

You don't need driver for speaker only for sound card

Do you mean I will need to take the soundcard out of my old PC and put it in the new one for the speakers to work?

when you bought the speaker did u get soundcard with it.
and did you get a software to go with it
if you did, yes probably you have to keep the same soundcard
mine are directly connect to the motherhead card

Speakers don't need drivers, no.
The only thing you have to look at is that your new card supports 5.1 when you connect 5.1 speakers, obviously.
Connections are farily standard, as far as I know...
Can't see the wiring from your picture, what plugs do the speakers use? And how many are there?
IZ.

5.1 is pretty much standard all even integrated cards these days, so it should be just plug-out, plug-in.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Only if you're a 'style guru' like you.
