Computer to bedroom speakers.....

[locky]

Has anyone plugged their house speakers into their computer? I just wanna know if itll work as i got 4 of them!
I got a seperate amp, so what if i ran a lead from the pc, into the amp, and then flick the switch to an auxillery? would this work?
Thanx alot!

Alritee! suround sound pc here i come!

does your soundcard have a "line-out" instead of a speaker output? if so, this is the best one to use if you are putting it through a separate amp.

I used to do this ages ago, but in the end I went out and treated myself to a full on dolby digital 5.1 setup, now I have my TV,PS2 and PC all plugged into it using digital connections(Din,Optical and coaxial) :)

I got a small plug in connector on the back of the pc, a set of headphones fit in there, with the small jack plug! dunno if its a line out tho lol i think it is!

[wisewood]

just do it as you said locky - thats the only way with the setup you are describing - not hte best possible sound but from what you ahve it'll be very good.

Well the amp runs my decks, 2 denon speakers n amp, 2 jvc speakers! sound nice when playing cd's/vinyl!
Thanx for the help guys!!!!!

Did u have to install any software for the surround sound to work?

[wisewood]

it will just feed the sound from your computer through the speaker wire from teh abck of the computer into whatever happens to be on the other end of the wire - in this case your amp. This will then in turn do its job.

stop asking questions and have to go at it laddy!
