jwp Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 I have a buddy who just purchased a new computer and it has a DVD drive. He wants to hook it up to his prologic receiver and use his own speakers. How can he do this? Thanks for any advice. Jason<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenratboy Posted February 16, 2003 Share Posted February 16, 2003 What sort of sound card? What I do for stereo (and Pro-Logic) is use a 1/8" "headphone" adaptor (like on a sound card, the plugs on it) to dual RCA (like analoge audio inputs.) This plug can be had for $1 and then you just plug the cables into the receiver. If you start on optical/coaxial output, that is different. If you need more details, let me know, I had to figure out all that stuff myself, so I will pass the knowledge along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkbks Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 If you still interested, do a search for Internet radio as a topic on the general forum. A month or two ago, I posted a longish message about my own research into devices to reproduce sound from my computer thru the Cornwalls. My final choice of cost vs value was a USB converter running a 30' cable to a digital input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Kenneth is correct. I have a system set up like this, where I have a 1/8 headphone connector with two connections coming out of my computer,I have cable (radio shack audio cable) running to two integrated amps where I just hook up to the AUX connection with a Y connector. I run two sets of speakers with no problems. I listen to Beethoven.com internet music. Total cost was about 12.00 dollars. Hope you get this done, I love listening to music thru my computer. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
