I've a logitech z506 5.1 speakers for my PC and I want to make a good use of it by getting a sound card. My budget is 100 and I just want to watch movie with better sound quality. Can anyone suggest me any good one? Thanks.
Need some advice on choosing soundcard

Why can you only plug one?
If it's because of microphone /headset, One option I used to have was a logitech g15 which had a built in mic in and speaker out which handled my headset and allowed the sockets on the pc for my 5.1Otherwise get a soundblaster x fi
Check MSY and your budget on the level you wantSpeakers come with green,orange and black cables and my onboard has only green plug. I think, because of that my surround speakers doesn't produce any sound.
What kind of motherboard are you using?

It's Asus H87M-E. Can I configure my motherboard to provide 5.1 surround?
not your motherboard but your motherboard manual will tell you how you can configure it

page 13The Manual says:
- Use a chassis with HD audio module in the front panel to support an 8-channel audio output.
So it sounds like you need something like this?
