Can a pc be connected to a stereo so i can play music on wmplayer through stereo speakers?

Question

as opposed to the pc speakers?

what do you need to do for this? connections/hardware?

my cd deck is broken so i figured i'd try playing my music through my computer but wanted the stereo speakers for the output sound.

i have a packard bell pc and on the power units rear there is an orange and blue coloured circular socket. Would they be anything?

please help if you can.

thankyou

Answer 1

You can buy a cable that plugs into your sound card's output and ends in two RCA phono plugs (if that's what you use in the UK for audio connections; it's what we use in the US).

You will have to connect this cable into a stereo amplifier or receiver (to which your speakers will be connected).  There is not enough power in your soundcard output to directly power large speakers.

Answer 2
