Dr. Nick Riviera Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 i've thought about running the laptop through a 3.5mm to phono lead, but that will mean i can only play stuff to what the laptop can amplify it to, which will not be very good, now if my stereo had a microphone input i could use that as an input and the stereo to amplify it, but it doesn't so i'm a bit bonedwhat are my options? apart from buying a seperate amp. i thought about buying one of those tape deck things that you can buy for your ipod, but i have no idea if it will work.so any idea's would be welcome as these pc speakers are quite frankly shiteta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 The stereo should amplify the sound when using the RCA inputs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 The stereo should amplify the sound when using the RCA inputs as well.yup - always has done for me.ideally you want to running the cable out of an unamplified output on your computer though - so as not to risk frying the amp in your stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Generally the headphone output on a laptop will not kick out much power. Also you will probably find the quality is much better on the stereo if you turn the laptop volume down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
