Can I use a sound bar for my PC?

[FreyjasChosen]

Hello all,
I'm sure this question gets asked all the time, or maybe it's such a noob question that it doesn't...I don't know anything about sound systems since I've had to wear headphones all of my adult life (someone's always sleeping in the next room, wherever I live) but I finally want to get my own sound system. I saw a recommendation for the Sony HTCT260 Sound Bar Home Theater System as a good starter piece, and I was wondering if/how I could hook it up to my PC? The PC is currently using a 46" Samsung HDTV as a monitor, but I haven't figured out how to use the TV's speakers for PC audio yet.

Sorry if this is such an elementary question for you all, but I want to know what the sound system is capable of before I drop $300 or more on it. Thanks in advance!

There should be speaker ports on the back of your computer. Is there?

Yes, my PC has the typical audio jacks on the back. I'm using the default motherboard ports since my X-Fi Fatal1ty died some months back.

As long as there's ports for all the speakers, you should be fine.
