Why won't my computer speakers work on my TV?

Can I use a set of computer speakers to enhance my TV audio?

  • I have a set of Altec Lansing speakers with a Sub. I would like to connect these to my TV to enhance the sound. My problem is that these speakers and sub are connected to my computer using an AUX cable. My TV does not have any input for an AUX cable. Is there anywhere else I can plug my one green AUX cable to so that I can make this work without buying a new set of speakers? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    I assume when you say AUX, you mean a mini jack, like headphones would have: If your TV has audio out at all, it is most likely the red and white pair of RCA: So, what you will need is a 3.5mm Audio Jack (Female) to RCA Audio Converter (30cm):

You do not need an imput on the tv you should look for an output. The best bet is to connect them to the hearphone plug if your tv has one (most do) This way you would have sound coming out from those speakers/sub alone and you would keep the volume control capability. The other solution is to look for the white/red RCA audio out on your tv and use some sort of a RCA to Jack plug to connect the cable from the speakers
