TV doesn't have 3.5mm jack. Need help to find a solution.

The Logitech controller is designed to be used with the speakers included with it. I think you will be happy to use it and the speakers for some time. You can save for something you find interesting to purchase at a later time. Some here are four and five times your age. They’ve had time to save and purchase what they want in their systems. Have fun with what you have now. You might try Amazon UK to see what it would cost for devices to be purchased and delivered to Sweden.

Would Thomann (think I remember that name) carry something like that?

Unfortunately I couldn't find it to buy at all here in Sweden, new or used. We do have reselling, but since it's a small country, looking for something specific to buy can be hard. And if I were to find it new though, it would still be twice of what I paid for the ones I have now.

But the speakers I have use spring clips, shouldn't I be able to replace the speakers in that case? I'm not looking to buy these speakers long term anyways, still only 17 and don't have a job, so these doesn't have to hold for many years.

You really should get a HDMI audio extractor with optical audio output and connect it that way. RCA outputs will only give you simulated surround sound and it will be of significantly lower overall quality. Using a HDMI audio extractor with optical audio connectivity, will give you proper 5.1 surround sound.

I understand that being on a budget makes it more difficult to get this stuff going nicely, and in a smaller country, you will be hard pressed to necessarily find something awesome. Definitely keep your eyes on the lookout for a nice used piece of gear which may give you some future upgrades. It may take a while, but something may come along which is within your budget, even if it is a tight budget.

Don't be cheap and use an old tv to start with. Second of all don't use computer speakers with a TV. If you have newer TV and an av receiver with speakers you would enjoy it much much better. I'm all for the best experience. Consider this carefully.

Best surround sound and tv experience is newer equipment from the last few years.

Yeah I'm buying an HDMI audio extractor, I just meant that I can still use it in while I'm waiting for it and I can also use it for other sources that don't use HDMI.

Seriously - good choice. What you will learn along the way will give you some insight on how all of this goes together. Hopefully it works well for you and doesn't cause you any headaches. The recommendation for a proper AV receiver and good speakers is good, but it is also one of those things that takes time, perhaps years, to get to. In my opinion, and in my experience, there is no rush on this. Do it when you can afford it and enjoy the hell out of what you have today. I have what I may have spent ten thousand dollars or more on over the years in my home. Over many years. Some gear is well over a decade old and I still love it. Start small, buy what your budget allows, and don't overreach. This is supposed to be fun, and I will encourage you to keep it that way.

Keep asking questions. It remains one of the best ways to learn.
