How to Connect to Home Audio System?
Hello,
I purchased a Sound Blaster Live 5.1. because I would like to connect my desktop computer to my audio preamplifier/processor for internet radio listening through my audio system. My audio preamplifier/processor is a multichannel fully loaded with RCA, Optical and Digital Coax inputs. Now I'm a little confused on what and how to connect them. Could you please advice for the best type of connection between receiver and Sound Blaster live? Thank you Regards, |

I would recommend you getting a decent quality coaxial cable with phono jacks in each end (males), doesn't have to be a top of the line model for $50+ or anything. Just an OK cable that is sufficiently long to cover the distance. If it's very far, like more than 4 meters perhaps, a cable of the better variety might be adviseable. Then you get a phono to mono headphone 3.5mm conversion plug. Stick the plug in the back of your soundcard (digital output of course ), and the other end in your surround processor. Do note, you'll only get stereo sound this way, not multichannel... |
