Is there a way to go from PC to receiver/MP3 play?


Can I wire from PC to Reciever for playing MP 3's. Is there a simple way? OK, what is the complicated way?

Easy. MP3 quality is crap anyways, so just mosey on down to the Rat Shack and get an 1/8 mini-plug to RCA adapter. Also buy an 1/8 headphone extention cable. Plug the extension cable into the back of your soundcard, and the adapter into the extention cord. Easy!

The more complicated (and expensive) way is to use the onboard DAC of your receiver (assuming that you have an empty digital input). If your soundcard has TosLink compatible outputs, just run that into the digital input of your receiver. The drawback to this is that mostly likely (depending on your software and soundcard) you'll have to convert the MP3's to WAV format before playing them. Cheers!
