Imac and audio options

[hdsalinas]

Hi, what do you guys think abot these speakers? Logitech® Z-4i



I think they would look good next to an imac.

BTW, is there a way to use the built in speakers AND the externals at the same time.

The motherboard on my current PC, lets me use the line in and mic in as audio outputs so I can hook more speakers and have sorround sound. Can this be don with the imac?

thanks

i have a similar question. I have my PC as the centre of my entertainment system. It has no didgtal outs so I added optical and coaxial digital in and out via an Edirol UA1D usb device.

What annoys me like hell is when I'm surfimg away with itunes running in th background, pleasant music flowing from my 7 speakers, a friend will sighn on to msn and DING DONG DING my msn alert surounds me on all sides, the same with windows prompt accept thats more of a THRRUMP!!! My point is, on my PC, there seems to be no way of having system sounds and 'wanted' sounds through different sets of speakers.

my question: as an iMac has internal speakers, can I route alerts, msn, etc... through the internal speakers and have itunes/eyetv outputting 6.1 via the optical port?
