Connect home speakers to computer ?

Question

what cables do i need to connect my home stereo speakers to my computer ???

Answer 1

I connect my laptop to my receiver by using a cable that has a headphone jack on one end (goes into the laptop) and red and white RCA jacks on the other end (goes into the receiver). If your computer has digital optical audio output on it (it'll be a square hole with what looks like a red LED inside it...mostly expensive laptops have it) you can use that if your receiver has an input for it. If your computer has HDMI output and your receiver has HDMI input you can use that too.

Answer 2

You need a amplifier/receiver to power those stereo speakers you have. Computers usually come with coaxial or optical output connections. High-end computers may have HDMI ports.
