Sound Output Question

[Brando569]

i have a 2.1 Klipsch sound system that i have hooked up via the purple input/output box that came with my old AIW Radeon 8500DV since its the only thing that i know of that will output the sound and allow me to connect the RCA jacks that the surround sound system requires.

Now heres my problem.... i want to sell the card but i dont know how i will be able to output the sound without the box that came with the AIW. I saw that some of the high end Audigy cards come with a drive bay that has RCA jacks but i dont have/want to spend that kind of money.

Is there a simple solution for this??

Am I missing something?

There are cables from mini-jack 3.5mm to RCA. Any electronics shop will sell it to you and they are cheap .

make sure to get a 3.5mm to rca y-adaptor

the 3.5mm hooks into ur output on the soundcard, and it will split into 2 rca cords, left and right channel. i have my comp hooked up to my sterio speakers this way.

[ripken204]
