Hello,
I was wondering if someone could explain to me (or point me in a
specific direction), why it seems to me that you cannot hook-up stereo
speakers directly to your computer (ie: connect to the sound card).
I have seen numerous posts that indicate you must connect the computer
to the stereo, and not the speakers themselves (though the line-in,
AUX, etc.. connections).
But, I have a set of computer speakers that just connect directly to
the output of the sound card.
The reason that I ask is because I have an extra set of speakers which
are *much*, *much* better than my computer speakers (isn't
everything?), but no spare stero system, receiver, amp, or otherwise.
Is there no-way that I can directly connect the speakers to the
"line-out" or "speakers" output of the sound card?
Is it just a matter of different connectors on the ends, or is there
something else to it?
Thanks so much.
Hugh,
