how to make RCA interface surround sound system work with my computer?
Posted on May 29th, 2010 by admin
I have a somewhat old Monster surround sound system that has an RCA interface. I am about to move away to college, and would like to find a way to make it work with my desktop, but of course, my computer doesn’t put out RCA, but instead has the standard 3.5mm audio output sound card. what is the best way to make my sound system usable with my desktop without sacrificing any sound quality or directional sound?
Get a Male 3.5mm to Male RCA cable.(available at walmart ) You will still get stereo sound or any other analog signal (i.e.prologic II) and Will not notice a difference in sound quality. If the computer is more than 50′ away from where the receiver is i would suggest a higher quality cable due to signal loss, but for the cost of cable you could just get a different sound card with a digital output. Monoprice.com best pricing on everything you are looking for. p.s i did the same exact thing in college worked great for partys even at LOUD volume
