| Is it possible for me to take my powered sub that I disconnected from my HT system and somehow get it to work with my PC audio? |

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? |

| 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 ... |

| What kind of receiver are we talking here? Just a basic stereo receiver. I was hoping I could do this w/o spending a buttload of $$$$$$. I just upgraded my whimpy HT sub and now its just sitting in my closet. |

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 |
