Just plug the computer sound card into the Hi Fi amplifier.

Get the proper adaptors to drive your amplifier that has the speakers. In
any case, your speakers will require an amplifier between them, and the
computer.

Sure. Get a cable to connect Line Out of your soundcard to Line In
(or Tape In, or CD In or just about anything except Phono In) on your
hi-fi amplifier. Probably this will be a stereo 3.5mm jack to 2 X
RCA phono plugs. This is commonly known as a "Soundcard cable".

As long as they're coming from a socket labeled "Line Out". If
they're in a hole labeled "Speakers Out" you might jump a bit!
It's unlikely to harm the amplifier's inputs, but have the amp volume
turned low just in case :)

That's standard advice when connecting anything to anything, anyway.

Not directly. You would need something in between to power your speakers.

Sounds like you are good to go. That's a good way to re-use your old
equipment that nobody wants.

Yep!, up and running and is amazing! If anyone has done this, try
watching Matrix reloaded on it or even just listening to Mona Lisa
overdrive, it should be illegal it's so cool!

Thankyou everybody for their kind help.

Ah, I er came across a slight hitch, it started out all very well, the
sound was crisp and clear and LOUD!. however, a couple of tracks and a
film later, the sound became watery during music tracks and the voices
in film became dull, does anyone know what the problem is?

cheers again

Check the cables. The cables you get with computer cards aren't always
of the highest quality.
