Hello everybody, I currently have a Logitech z506 surround sound system that is plugged in to my gaming computer. However, I recently just obtained a Windows TV box and am using it as my Plex media server connected to an old but not ancient 40” LCD TV (I’m getting overscan issues but that’s for another thread).
 
My Windows TV Box is connected to the TV directly via the sole HDMI out port. I would like to connect this surround sound system to either my TV or my Windows TV Box. Either way I see some issues; both my TV and windows box only have a single headphone jack. I am wondering if you guys have any suggestions as to what I need to do or purchase to make it work?
 
I do not have any preference as to whether the sound system is plugged into the TV or Windows TV box.

Can't really see any way to get more then the having the audio (with Windows TV box or Seiki TV) feed a 2-channel audio signal to the 2 front speakers of the Z506.

You might try one of these between the Windows TV and the TV.  Looks like it would do the trick, but I have not personally tested it.
 
You'll need 3 RCA > 3.5mm stereo cables.

Thanks for the suggestions, what I have below is cheaper and I'm wondering if it would work if I wanted to plug it into my Windows computer not the TV?

Wow, that's pretty cheap. Might be fine but make sure you can return it if it doesn't work out.

agree, return policy is king.
