I have some speakers that I'd like to connect to my PC, so that I don't have to use my rather poor computer speakers any more, since I want decent quality sound for a change. The question is, how do I connect these speakers to my PC? I have a CD Player, if they need to go through that, but I'm just wondering how it'd work. The speakers are Denon, and they don't have a power socket connected to them, so they'd have to go through my CD Player I presume?

One method I thought of, which probably won't work, is cutting my PC speaker wire that goes into the audio port, attaching the cut end into the microphone port of the CD Player, and then playing my PC's audio through the CD Player, and into the speakers. But, I'm guessing that's a no-no?

Just any help would be great.

If anyone wants to add their own questions and make this a general electrical or computer help topic, that's fine, but I really need some help here...

Thanks.

Try cutting the plug end off of the speakers you have now, and wiring/soldering(if you know how) the PC plug to the end of the new speaker wire. You might have to cut off some of the wire on the new speaker's wire so you have enough to attatch the plug to. Cover the wire joints with some electrical tape and that should do it.

When you want to use the new speakers with the CD player instead of the computer, you can use the plug that goes into the computer to plug the speakers into the headphone port on the CD player.

It may be easier to just buy new speakers if you have no experience in the field of electroncics, but like eramnes said, you can buy the socket extensions and attach them to the severed and trimmed end of the speaker wire if you know what your doing.

Solder a wire to a wire eh? that's a new one lol =x

Anyway, you can either just buy a new comp speakers, try and find a connection port for plug & play or just wire it yourself.

Do you know how to rewire? or are you at a blank?

Does your speaker have a Line In socket?

If it does, then get a simple audio cable with the right size jacks (on your computer it'll be the small ones, but I don't know about your specific CD player)

Then it's as simple as connecting the Line Out from the back of your PC (where the speakers/headphones plug in) to the Line In socket on your CD player.

Then on your CD player, you'll have to set it so it's in Line In mode (or something like that).


Or I could have missed the point completely... :E
