Reddit mentions of Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Ever tried google?

Looks like it’s discontinued... [adapter](Logitech 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8 (Discontinued by Manufacturer) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006U3ACY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pXpcBbFPG9DH7)

If your tv has stereo RCA you’ll need a standard cable. If your tv only has a line out, you’ll need a 3.5mm stereo to RCA cable. Also easy to find on google.

It'll work. But you may need an amp of some kind. I'd buy that stuff first, because an amp is at least $20. An E5 would do the job most likely.

Also, use that instead. It'll save you from using that female/female 3.5mm adapter. I use this for my xbox 360.

I had the same problem about a year ago. After doing some research, I found this. Works like a charm.

Here's what I would do:

• Get an AV switcher with HDMI and with an analogue audio out.
  Something like this
  
  
• Get a game system adapter for your speakers.
  Something like this
  
  
  
• Get an HDMI display port adapter WITH AUDIO OUT for your macbook pro.
  Something like this
  
  
  
• Hook your PS4 into switcher via HDMI
  
  
• Hook your mac into switcher via HDMI utilizing your display port adapter, set the audio to send through HDMI.
  
  
• Hook your speakers up to the switcher's analogue audio out with RCA (red and white) from switcher, then into the game system adapter, and the game system adapter into the 3 audio input channels on the Logitech speakers using 3 STEREO 1/8 inch male to male "headphone" cords. A stereo cable will have 2 black "lines" on the cables termination, each "line" is a contact for a single channel. Instead of decoding the signal, the Logitech speakers use 1 contact for each channel and the computer decodes the signal. That's why there is left/ right on top, rear left/ right in middle, and center/ subwoofer on the bottom.
  
  
• Hook your switcher into your TV with HDMI
  
  
  edit: I still don't know if this would give you true 5.1 surround. ProLogic maybe. Maybe there is a switcher that has the same output as a computer sound card (3 headphone cord audio output) so you can go directly into the speakers.

So let me get this straight it's stereo mini out of your laptop into the converter with L+R RCA out to 3 speakers with mono minis split L+R+C ?

Sort of like this? http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Console-Adapter-Convert-Single-Pc/dp/B0006U3ACY

For the PS3 , you can use an RCA to 3.5mm converter

As for your TV box / DVR or whatever you can use the same thing, I dunno if you want to get 2 of them or just swap back and forth or what but I have it for my PS3 and it works pretty good

What if I used pc speakers and hooked up the red and white composite cables to this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006U3ACY/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER and then plugged in the headphones to the pc speakers?? Does this sound feasible??

This is what you need

Also, since this is the same setup I'm currently using (I have a logitech 5.1 system designed for computers), you can buy this as well to hook it directly up to your HDTV

Will something like this do the trick? I have a 5.1 output on my motherboard that's hooked up to my 2.0 stereo speakers (using my old CD player at a "receiver" or some sort).

You want an adapter box like this you can also get special cables if you don't want the adapter.

You did ask for monitors then complain about monitors being flat? That is the point of them :)

You can of course go with other speakers as well but they aren't powered. Unless of course you use a nice set of 2.1 computer speakers. Monitors really aren't necessary for a DJ and without an (expensive) sub to pair with them they can be arguably worse for DJing than a decent 2.1 computer system. Flat response isn't necessary for DJing - remember you wont get any flat response in a club so why at home?

I DJ at home with a high end set of Altec Lansing PC speakers that have been converted to 2.1 (removed center/rear channels and used this adapter. Computer speakers can be the best 'bang for the buck' if you don't have an old home theater amplifier or something to power unpowered speakers.

If you do have an amplifier (even an old home stereo/theater amp) you can go with something like these BIC America RTR-1530 for $125 each, which are 3 way and with a 15" cone will provide quite significant bass even without a subwoofer. They do have a matching sub too for $210. These speakers will perform admirably at home or on the go - although passive powered speakers are a hassle for moving around and setup.

Looks like the back of logitech x530 speakers?
If so, think this is the one you need

The only way to get surround sound out of PS4 is by using either the HDMI or the optical out port. You can use all the cables and adapters you want, but 3.5mm jack and RCA cables will only produce stereo sound splitted among the speakers.

If you're happy to have stereo sound, you could get something like this

They make an adapter for this.

This is the closest adapter I could find.

I use Microsoft's VGA adapter and it goes to 1080p on my 1920x1200 monitor.

For sound I use http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Console-Adapter-Convert-Single-Pc/dp/B0006U3ACY but for some reason it seems impossible to get cheaply (should be just a couple bucks).

Well, you could actually do this without a receiver, this is how I would do it (this isn't pretty):

• Computer plugs into TV with VGA+3.5mm audio
  
• PS3 plugs into into TV with HDMI+RCA audio (see footnote)
  
• TV is provided with an "analog out" RCAs to your Logitech Speakers. You would need to use this converter, which would not give you true surround sound.
  
  This way your TV would be able to switch video signals for you. Since it's all analog audio, it would all go through the analog out RCAs to your Logitech.
  
  (footnote)I'm not sure if your proposed TV can display a digital image and output analog sound.
  
  Or, just get a receiver. But you'll need to get new speakers as well.

The problem you have with not being able to hear your friend is because the headset adapter is taking control of chat. If you only have the mic going into the adapter and you are getting audio from some place else you will not hear voice chat. The audio has to come out of the adapter as well.

I think this is what you have yes? http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/itemDetails/T777-1066/T777-1066-out04-kg.jpg

If that is the case and you are not afraid of a bunch of cables coming out of your controller here is a possible solution:

You will need the previously mentioned cable http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004SP0WAQ/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_u.W7tb0EYW852 you can plug the pink mic cable right into the mic end of that cable.

For the audio you need to turn your 3 other cables into a single stereo 3.5 with something like this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Console-Adapter-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B0006U3ACY

in conjunction with one of these http://www.showmecables.com/product/3-5mm-Stereo-Mini-Plug-to-Dual-RCA-Plugs-6-IN.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=933&zmam=49733141&zmac=5&zmas=1&zmap=933&gclid=Cj0KEQjwgryfBRDn7cvY-pOit4cBEiQAB3nTbmJWQ7KJtba5nFTz0sX8K-fmBK5eu1LdzGdDV-EYz3oaAoz_8P8HAQ (you can find them longer)

You can even use the cable you said you already purchased so all of the cable mess doesn't have to hang directly off the controller.

Hope this helps.


Edit: you can also find this type of cable in just about any length if you need to extend the mic cable. http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-STR35-CBL6-Stereo-Extension-Female/dp/B0017T9XDI/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1408228231&sr=1-7&keywords=3.5+extension+cable
