yes but odds are you wont get sound from all the speaker.

Those speakers use 3 connectors, front L/R, rear L/R, centre and sub, so depends what you laptop supports for example my laptop has two ports so would support 4 channels, if yours only has one you would only get 2 channels.

If you have one jack you can try using a splitter, but alternative is to actually have 4.1 or 5.1 even 7.1 sound card that will do the split for you?
Sound cards for laptops are difficult as they are not generic esp if its a sony.
what laptop do you have?

As far as I know the notebook supports an ExpressCard slot.
So you could use an ExpressCard sound card.

Google for some ExpressCard sound card; I found one from Creative. It’s X-Fi ExpressCard soundcard. It’s not expensive but I’m not quite sure it’s the best for you purposes…
