Hi Guys,

I have a set of cute, small, silver speakers that was my home 5.1 setup. I would like to use them on my 'puter. Can I hook them directly to my tower builtin soundcard or do I need an house amp in between the speakers and soundcard? I know my builtin audio supports surround sound.

Depends if they're active speakers or not (ie: Have their own power source) If not then it's likely you'll need some form of amp between the computer and speakers.
 
plus you may need a digital to analog converter thingy. I have a really nice setup with a digital Y splitter (used to share sound on laptops?) so that both my hometheatre system and my pc speakers are connected. Lets me listen to radio and games at same time or provides a little boost to the surround sound =)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?
