Audio out from computer to stereo |
|
|
I have a 1 year old Gateway with Win XP 2 ghz processor and standard sound
card that came with it. I want to run sound out from computer to a stereo
receiver. I tried radio shack cable with headphone (male stereo end)
plugged into headphone jack on speakers of the computer and connected the
other end (2 rca jacks) to the receiver, but volume is low and I'm not
happy. I can turn computer volume up to 10, but if I accidentally pull out
the cable the computer is way too loud (very disurbing to ears.) The output
of the sound card has 3 jacks (blue for headphone, pink and light green.
Right now the pink and light green jacks are used for the computer speakers
(the male ends that plug into them look "stereo")
In short how do I get sound out of my computer to receiver that isn't too
low in volume for receiver unless computer turned up to 10 in volume? Do I
need to play around with sound card properties i see under volume, there are
speaker settings advance. What do I set this at, and what plugs do I
utilize. Appreciate any help.

Good question for rec.audio.tech, not a conference of PA
system operators. |

Get a 1/8 stereo spilter and connect the cable going to the stereo to that |
aand also hook up the speakers to the splitter and then shut the speakers
off and it whould work better and sound better too.....
