New member Username: AdadPost Number: 2 Registered: Mar-06 | I live in an apartment. I have a very simple (2 speaker) stereo system (and an old but good Yamaha R8 receivor). further, I'm not a computer geek or gamer or anything. How can I set it up so that my stereo system and computer utilize the same speakers. Please keep in mind that I'm on a budget. Thanks for any help |

If your computer doesn't have a soundcard, buy this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829120103 Apparently with its Wolfson DACs and Envy chipset that's the best budget soundcard for 2-channel music going. It even comes with an optical cable! Google it for a bunch of reviews. I might be buying one for myself soon too. |

New member Username: AdadPost Number: 3 Registered: Mar-06 | I currently have 2 speakers hooked up to the stereo system and 2 different speakers hooked up to the computer. Neither my stereo speakers nor the receivor accommodate RCA jacks. I was going to get a good set of speakers (for music) because all I have right now is the cheapies that came with the computer and I'd like to get the space back that the stereo system speakers take up. |

I'm saying, keep your stereo speakers hooked up to the receiver just the way they are right now. Just connect your PC's sound card to the receiver using RCA jacks. I find it hard to believe that your receiver does not even have ONE set of auxilary inputs. Even my POS Sony minisystem has one set of RCA inputs. |
