Using Your Computer
with Your Stereo System
Sending Output to a Stereo
System
Your computer can be connected to your stereo
system for games or multimedia applications.
Connect the line output from the audio card to
any unused line-level input connector on the
stereo system. Use 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.)
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.
Making Audio Recordings
to a File
You can make recordings on your computer using
either the Microsoft Sound Recorder Applet or the
Media Rack wave recorder. In either case:
1
Select the sound source. For computer-
generated sounds, select Line Out as the
source. For stereo-generated sounds, connect
the Line Out of the stereo system to the Line
In of the computer and select Line In as
the source.
