No prob. When I've got my ideal setup running, I have my PC running through my TV/Stereo, my DVD Player running thru my TV/Stereo, my TV connected to my PCs capture card via the TV-out port on my TV... its all hooked up, lol.

i have everything running through my computer. i watch tv through it i watch movies through it. i just wanted the stereo hooked up becouse the speakers are much nicer then the tv speakers. at first i though it didnt have aux in coz it was hidden under this little plastic slider thingy.

This is close to what you need: Y-adapter, Radio Shack.

The red plug is for your right speaker, the white for your left. Each of these two plugs is a standard RCA connector that has two wires leading to it. The wire connected to the center post is the one that goes to the '+' on the speaker. The wire connected to the metal cylinder surrounding the post goes to the '-' on the speaker.

You can cut the two plugs off and bare the wire, but do it carefully so you know which wire goes to the post and which goes to the cylinder.

Or...you can buy a couple of matching jacks and attach wires to those. One end of the wire goes to the speakers, and the jack just connects with the plug on the Y-adapter.

One more thing: don't expect too much volume if you drive standard speakers with a PC sound card.

I beat you to the punch, dude. lol... can't underestimate the sheer power of complete and total genius. Oh, did I mention that right now I'm drunk and my gf is kissing other blokes? Hey, I might wake up tomorrow in a puddle of my own blood!! Red is one of my fave colours, so I wont be disappointed. Considering theres about 5 - 6 litres of nice red blood in my body, that should keep me occupied for a time...

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I know my life sucks when I trust you .ORG members more than I can trust my own friends.
