Would anyone know if this device is capable of outputting sound through PC speakers natively (in this case surround sound)?

If you're talking about just the speakers alone, yes you can provided they're powered speakers. But depending on the speakers you really aren't going to get the tone that you'd get through an amp. I'd suggest a pair of Roland MA-12 powered speakers. They have enough power to be loud, separate tone controls and quarter inch inputs so you wouldn't need any kind of adaptors but anything along that line would be better than pc speakers. Hope this helps.

probably not unless your surround sound system uses ethernet. Depending on your system, you may want an Optical cable, or HDMI

Yes,If you use Windows I would recommend go to Manage audio devices in Control Panel and use Logitech USB headset as Default audio device. Every time you plug in the device,OS recognizes this as the primary audio device and when you remove system automatically sends the output to your speakers.

No one? I am specifically looking for a UBS output to speaker system. The reason is fidelity & elimination of latency.

Not unless you connect your PC to an amplifier then to the speakers. Klipsch makes the ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System that sound very good

You have options when installing this device. In my installation, I simply plugged the USB connector on the device directly into my PC and an HDMI cable from the device to my monitor. Video and were delivered to the monitor. Another option is to use the Audio Out connector on the device to deliver sound to another device such as your home theater receiver. So, the answer to your question is Yes the sound from your computer will play through the speakers of the receiver.

If the PC speakers have RCA type jacks on them then this cable should work, but most PC speakers already have a cable that will plug directly into your computer. This cable would normally be used to connect the line output of your computer to a stereo amplifier or the output of an audio device such as a mixer or receiver to the line input of your computer.

I know nothing about computer speakers, but you can connect to any device that accepts a stereo Y-cable (One end is like a headphone plug and the other end is left and right RCA audio plugs). I use one of these cables to connect to my surround sound amplifier to get virtual surround. Much better results than the onboard sound.

This device is to receive sound in your computer, not on your speakers, you need to buy one that has audio output that you will connect to your amplifier and the amplifier to your speakers.

My system is also using Bose speakers in combo with my polk speakers with my surround sound reciever. But tying with a computer I don't know what will happen, I think it would be ok, but then again maybe it will explode too. ;)

You might be able to get this working, by attaching the 3.5mm to the microphone jack on your computer. However, most computer are not configured to treat the microphone jack as "pass-through", because the feedback when using an actual microphone would be bad.So, you will need to make sure that you have some software/hardware on your computer that allows you to play sound directly from your microphone jack to your speakers.

You can disable the audio thru the HDMI cable by going into device manager and selecting your on board/audio card. That will output the sound thru your pc speakers. Will have to do the opposite of course when you want the sound from your tv.

Likely yes. You would just need to be sure to configure GoToMeeting to use the correct speaker output device.

I have not tried this audio should come out with HDMI I wonder if you have to change sound output in control panel settings

Getting surround sound depends on the speaker setup you have and has very little to do with this equipment. If your TVs are wired for surround sound, then they should work fine always. This equipment merely allows you to use up to 4 HDMI-compatible devices (outputs) with one HDMI source (input). It doesn't vary or optimize the input in any way.

Unless you somehow have a device that literally has no onboard speakers and the only way out is SPIDF optical, then not really. I didn't realize how little power this thing had. I posted a cheeky caveat emptor rating just to make people aware of this and it got blasted :'(

No. This device doesn't present any audio devices to computer, it is a video device only.
