[Blindtlk] Connecting stereo to Computer

[Judy Jones]

Hi,

I am by no means an expert, but what works for us is to plug a Y splitter 
in.  The Tail of the Y goes into the headphone jack, the other two leads are 
RCA plugs and go into the jacks in the stereo.  We simply silence Jaws 
speach if we don't want it.

We watch/listen to movies hooked up to our system that way.  It's also a 
great way to listen to play lists from the computer.

Good afternoon everyone,

    I may have asked this before but can't remember what I was told since
it's been so long ago. We're wanting to connect our home theatre to my
wife's computer since it's in our living room with the home theatre. The
home theatre has an "Auxiliary In" setting that would allow us to do this.
We have two speakers that are connected directly to the computer. These are
for pc-only audio such as for hearing JAWS when we're on the computer.
Naturally we don't want JAWS going over the home theatre. When the
"Auxiliary"setting is activated we would hear the audio from the computer
over the home theatre which is what we want. One way to do this is with a
mixer but that's over-kill for now. I thought I heard there are switches
that one can install to make this possible. I believe the line-out from the
computer plugs in to the switch. It would then be a matter of connecting the
computer speakers to the switch and the lines from the home theatre to it as
well allowing us to hear PC audio through the home theater speakers when we
wish or simply to use the PC speakers for computer audio only. I'd like some
recommendations on such devices and feedback on how usable they are. Thanks
for the assistance.

  Peter and Mary Donahue who are looking forward to hearing holiday concert
broadcasts in our collection on our schedule not that of the radio station.
