How do I hook up my computer to my stereo?

How can I hook up my stereo speakers to my computer?

  • I have a home studio and I need to know how to hook them up to my computer.

  • Answer:

    All you need is a stereo cable: plug it to your pc and to your stereo (auxilliary or line in) slot. Cable should look like this. http://www.cablesnmor.com/stereo-cable.html You can use adapter if your stereo has different slot.

It depends. You first have to make sure your speakers are attached to a amplifier (it basically powers up your speakers). If you attach your speakers directly to your computer then you will get virtually no sound even on full volume. But if your speaker is an actual system (where you can adjust the volume of your speakers outside your computer / it is powered) then buy a twin phono (sometimes called stereo phono) to 3.5mm jack cable or adaptor and just hook it up. This is a picture of a twin phono to 3.5mm jack adaptor: http://www.maplin.co.uk/images/Full/n85an.jpg Try going for a cable instead of an adaptor, and if your speakers are high-end, you need high-end quality adaptors/cables or else it will sacrifice quality.

First, check the back of your stereo, If there are white/red audio ports for an 'aux' input then you're set to go, you'll just need a cable which splits the 'headphone' size jack in your pc to the correct output for your stereo. If you don't have the red+white ports life will be made more difficult for you, and your best option would probably be to buy an fm transmitter, and have it transmit to your stereo... Or if you're feeling extravagant, buy a new stereo making sure it's got an audio line in port! :)
