Connecting to a Stereo System

Your computer can be connected to your stereo system for games or multimedia applications. First, you’ll need a cable that has a 3.5mm stereo plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other end. (You can buy such a cable at most consumer electronics stores.) Then, connect any unused line-level input connector on the stereo system to the line output on the audio card (see illustration).

When your computer and your stereo system are connected, the volume levels can be adjusted with either the computer keyboard Volume knob or the stereo volume control.
