Are you saying I would need to get an HT receiver to do this? Can't I just find a device that is real small like a router that will allow me to make my audio connections?v1d9uy said:just use a reciever for your computer .. then you can use whatever speakers you want : )
nothing made for a computer has a RCA output for a sub ... to my knowledge. not even the big $ soundblaster audigy now it does have outputs for a computer surround sound setup with sub but not a rca output the only way i would do this is to get a reciever... and use a headphone plug to rca adapter and use that to yer reciever .... thats the way i do it anyways ...
id hit up garage sales etc... find a older ht reciever... a stereo receiever wont have the sub output ... also try

Well I guess this is a waste then oh well. I really don't want a receiver next to my PC. I'll just get a 3-way PC audio system instead. Something like this. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...t&productCategoryId=cat01055&id=1055388012457
You can get RCA out from your computer. M-Audio makes audiophile grade sound cards and audio capturing devices. It has a dongle that plugs into the sound card that then outputs in to thier respective channels.
A 7.1 surround sound card can be had for under $100 street price.

you could get a much MUCH cheaper sound card that has 1/8" mini stereo outs for fronts, rears, and sub/center...you could hook up your current mains to the front output,and use a headphone jack --> RCA adaptor to hook up your powered sub...if it is in fact powered you wont need a reciever...and you can install it yourself...veery easily
