I got a big stereo system for Christmas, and if I can, I want to hook it up the the computer because the speakers are much better than the multimedia ones. On the back of it, its says ''Aux In'' and there's two holes, ''left'' and ''right''. How do I go about connecting it the the CPU, if it's even possible? I might have to buy some wires. |

You will have to buy cables. I'm assuming that the aux in is two phono sockets. You'll need to connect the headphone socket of your soundcard to the two aux-in sockets of your amp. So you need a male headphone to two-male phono cable. Maybe they call them something different in Canada. I'll try to find a pic |

Use one of and connect it to where your current computer speakers are connected. Then put your sound system into aux mode and hey presto, beefy sounds. and it's a surround system you won't want to play those dodgy 128k mp3s any more. |

...*IF* it's a surround system... |

Absolutely fabulous, merci beaucoup! Nah, it's not a surround, it's just some normal everyday big ass speakers. And all my favorite MP3s are 192k or up. ;-) Thanks, Cleo. |

The key to a happy a fruitful life is hooking your PC up to your stereo. |

You could even plug your stereo system into the 'line out' socket if your sound card has one. Mine has 'Rear Speakers' option so I use that. That way you can use the computer speakers as well, and balance the sound. |

Hmm... I bought the, ahem, ''shielded Y adaptor'', but I'm not getting any sound. My soundcard has three holes in the back, the one I plug my speakers into, and two others that are labelled with two microphone thingys. What does Exceque mean by ''sound system in auxilary mode''? Whuddafuck? What do I do? Help! |

Yes, use the line out. It's better for speakers than headphones. I'm linking my decks to my PC (as it has better speakers than my hi-fi) next weekend so I'll need to do something similair. |

Come out of your soundcards line out with your 1/8" then plug the left and right RCA plugs into the Auxillary input of your stereo. Make sure your stereo is set on 'Aux' (not cd or tape, etc.) so you can hear it. |

1 is your hi fi in aux mode ? 2are the left and right plugs in aux sockets? 3is the sound output on your computor at max? 4check sound output settings in control panel. |

OK! Finally I got it working! Thank you one and all! I guess I'm really going to notice the horridness of 128kbs MP3s now. |
