Bob your laptop should have the same "audio out" or headphone jack as your desktop did, so that same "triple mini" plug will work the same way. You don't need to buy anything else.
My desktop had a high end Soundblaster card with multiple outputs for 7.1 surround sound. Though my 6 speaker system is only 5.1, it could still rock my world and rattle the windows! :B
Yes, I could have got a triple splitter and just done that, but after researching and reading a bunch I decided to go with the USB external sound card in an attempt to duplicate the output of my desktop unit.
I figured I wouldn't get the stereo separation or proper surround sound available from my 5.1 speaker system with the basic splitter, so opted for the card instead. I'm hoping my choice will offer the separation features, as I do like listening to my tunes like that.
10 bucks vs 45. I'm ok with that.
It is supposed to be delivered some time today. I'm eagerly waiting so I can try it out! I'll post back here once I do. :)
