Subwoofer from comp to receiver? Jack/adapter problem
Anonymous

Hi all, pardon the newb question. My Dell desktop came with a subwoofer. I just bought a Sony DEE985 receiver, and wanted to connect my computer's subwoofer to my receiver. Sadly, the subwoofer cable ends in a jack that fits into my sound card (1/8" maybe? like a small headphone jack?), it doesn't fit my receiver. My receiver appears to want the type of jack that normal, three-prong RCA cables have (not sure, though).
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Sorry to be so vague, I just don't know much about AV.
Is there a simple adapter I could buy so my computer's subwoofer could fit into my receiver?
Thanks a ton, James.

I am helping a friend set up a home theater. The electrician put speaker cable in the walls and cieling for two front, two rear and one two wire cable for the subwoofer. The speakers are straight forward to connect the + and - leads but the the powered Subwoofer is a different story. How do i connect the subwoofer; an energized which only has one lead in? I tryed connecting a RCA jack to both sides but I don't get any output. P.S. the reciever is a Denon 2802
