[nfbcs] Connecting stereo to Computer

[Peter Donahue]

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.
