hi guys

Simple question: Can anyone tell me how to connect my PC (via standard sound card) to an amp?

My amp has 2 channel inputs (red/white connectors etc) but my PC only has one output (again, pretty standard for PC).

I'm a complete newb at this so any URL's for relevent cabling products much appreciated ;)

Cheers


James

you need an adaptor to go from 3.5mm stereo jack to 2 RCA phonos (L&R). and then just connect it up with a std phono interconnect into the aux or tape loop on the amp.

As Jezz says just need a 3.5mm jack to phono lead. I *think* I got one with my sound card, if not got to your local tandy or whoever to get one, won't cost a lot.
