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.

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?

i have semilar speaker " very good by the way"

You don't need driver for speaker only for sound card
it not a problem

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.

But then would you not have to buy iSpeakers that are just the same as any others but more expensive?

I spit on your gravy, Davey!

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