A question about the Logitech Z-680 Speakers

[SiC420]

I have the Logitech Z680's Speaker System. I dont' know much about speakers or anything... here is my problem..

I have a gamecube that I want to hook up to my speakers.. the only problem is the decoder only has digital coax.. and the gamecube uses the RCA connections.. how do I go about hooking the gamecube up?

I know that radio shack has those adapters that woud convert it to rca.. but wouldn't taht only get me front speakers and not surround? I'm really confused how to do this.. any ideas?

There has to be a way to hookup analog RCA to the decoder and get the full dolby pro logic II sound? please help Resident Evil 4 comes out tomorrow.

the GameCube, does it have a headphones jack? If so, you can just hook the green input from the 680s into the GC headphone jack. Boom, sound from all speakers. it worked when hooking my wife's laptop up to my Altec Lansing 5.1s. give it a try?

The gamecube doesn't have a headphone jack.. im thinking that the best solution is to buy that stereo adapter from radio shack.. but i don't see how its going to get surround sound.. unless the decoder does all that for you.

Does a gamecube even offer surround?

Yeah it offers dolby prologic II

I got it to work though, looks like all i needed was the adapter from radio shack and my decoder does the rest.

sounds like you already know what to do. I have a set of z-680s I used the optical out directly from my Asus Mobo works great
