RE: Xbox and PC to Speakers
You will need an optical cable and splitter, but PCs don't generally transmit sound in 5.1 (some sound cards will) and music will only be through 2.1. I suggest getting a jack to jack for your PC, as there is no benefit of 5.1 surround sound.
On your 360, Microsoft, being the terrible hardware designers they are, have put the optical out port on the very expensive HDMI/ Component cables themselves. I had to rip off the plastic on my component cable to get surround sound with HDMI (I'm not buying a £35 cable, it would finally make my Xbox 360 more expensive than my PS3's standard setup!)
