Bionix Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 Ok, my ultimate goal here is to get some surround sound for my pc/room. Here's a pic of a reciever I found in my storage room... can I rig this up to my audigy? would i even want to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 you should just be able to hook your outputs from the sound card into the inputs on the receiver and it should work fine, would probably be able to be louder than any pc speaker system, but i've never tried it, but i am sure it will work fine if that's an audigy, it has an spdif digital output, if your receiver has a digital input, use that one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionix Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 (edited) is there any way to hook.... my creative 2.1 sound system up to it? or do I need to go with the "real" surround speakers with the open wire cords. edit: under input... there is only Phono Cd Video/aux Edited October 23, 2004 by Bionix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Intense_ Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 under input... there is only Phono Cd Video/aux Then use one of those.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 you'd probably need an audigy platinum adapter or platinum ex because those contain many outputs other than the 2.5 jacks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 two things... * it's a stereo amp... ie. left and right speakers... so no centre, surround left, surround right, nor subwoofer outputs... * sort out that bare wire on the speaker cable... it looks like the left pair are almost touching, if they do, it will short your amp.... not nice, could damage your speaker in the process... what you COULD do is set up the amp as the REAR left and right speakers... so your current 2.1 is left/right/sub.. and you can hook up the amp to Aux (for example) with a 3.5mm stereo jack to 2 phono (aka RCA) jacks cable... use the BLACK output on the Audigy for rear left and rear right... what i would probably do is actually use the amp with two decent speakers as the front left and right... and your existing 2.1 system as the rear left and right and sub... just depends on how much you wanna pay for speakers and thus whether or not the result of the amp + new speakers is better quality than your current 2.1 system Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionix Posted October 23, 2004 Posted October 23, 2004 I'll see what I can come up with.. Thanks... especially hardnrg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
