Re: Logitech z5500 on a macbook

The headphone jack is only going to provide stereo, or at best analog 
surround.  You need to get a digital output from your mac and not from 
something that hooks to the headphone jack either.  Taking the analog
signal 
from the headphone jack is never going to get you back to digital 5.1.  I 
don't know squat about macs but you probably should have gone to the apple

store.  After you shelled over the appropriate bucks then they will fix
you 
up.  Gotta love that proprietary apple stuff.
