[fenix.joao.jordao12]

Hi, i have 1 sound system for a home theater with 8 RCA default plugs, and i want to connect it to my computer with a z170A m5 motherboard, how can i do that?

How can i do that without spend absurd amount of money?

What is the model number of your home theater system?

Well, it looks like the receiver only has stereo (3 x left/Right Red/White) inputs, so you're only going to be able to use the stereo output (red rear audio port) using a 3.5mm to RCA L/R audio cable. Something like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=5597

Are you sure? This MOBO support up to 7.1 channel, this sound system is only 5.1, so...
If o use that cable i will only can use center speaker and subwoofer...

No. I'm not sure. I can't read the top of the receiver where the RCA connections are and I'm not finding a specs page (in english/google translate) for the unit. If the receiver supports 5.1, and each of those Red/White inputs at the top of the unit correspond to Front L/R, Rear L/R, and Center/Sub, then you would need three of those cables I linked, but to be sure, I need a clearer picture of those inputs and how they're labeled (or a link to a users guide).

Those RCA jacks on the subwoofer are 5.1 inputs
If the mobo is 7.1 you may need cables with 4 conductor mini plugs at the PC end and three RCA plugs at the other end of each. Check the mobo specs or manual.

Board has standard connectors for 5.1
From the photo - as its orientated in the picture

Red is front left/right
Socket to the left of it is Rear left/right
Socket top left is sub/centre.

So just 3 straight 3.5mm to twin rca cables is what you need as Wolfshadw has already suggested.
