comp/SB card to stereo spkrs?

Post by Steven Welborn »

I now have SB Audigy2 Platinum AND BIAB installed. Now I'd like to hook up my stereo spkrs to computer. I understand this is no problem. For a stereo spkr setup, this would use only one of the stereo 1/8" out jacks from the SB card. So a "Y" adapter is all thats neccessary correct? No ohms or power requirements or considerations?

Steven,
That card requires Powered or amplified speakers. It will drive headphones, but not speakers without an amp.

Check SB's site for System requirements.

Right, I just figured that out while away. I have a hunch it'll work into the 1/4" aux. input in the front of my stereo tuner. My DR5 works fine through there.
