Is the console right next to the PC? I.e. would you be able to connect the console to the soundcard and run the console sound that way?

Reason I ask is if a console has surround sound it's encoded in some way, and speakers can't decode that themselves.. so you either need a module that will decode the surround sound on the speakers, or some PC soundcards will also decode surround.

That set has got great reviews and has the decoding built into the speakers so you don't have to have your soundcard decode it.
