Reddit mentions of Wired-Up 3.5mm Jack to 2 x RCA Phono Stereo Audio Cable 3m Lead

Get something like this and hook it up to your controller.

Well what I do is run a 3.5mm lead from the headphone jack on my TV to the line-in port on my PC. That way all the sound goes through the PC... but it looks like your PC doesn't have a line-in which is a problem. You'd need to buy a sound card. Also, it requires your PC to be on all the time, which is OK for me but might not suit you.

EDIT: The only other solution I found is to use a switcher like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AV-Link-128-234-3-Way-Input-Expander/dp/B000KVODHA/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-1&keywords=switcher+aux

You'd also need two of these leads: http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_img_z

Yes!

Set the ps3 to composite for audio only.

I think other people have similar answers but this is the cable you need.

Source: This is my set up. (Actually with a hdmi to dvi also).

edit: Side note, if you can't get an AUX to work for you, you could also plug it directly into your PC in the line in channel (providing you have one, most tower PCs do that I've seen), it would mean you have to have your PC on to listen to your ps3 but your headphones would work and you'd have your PC sound also.

If you have a 3.5mm audio out on your tv/monitor then you can use a standard 3.5mm to rca cable adapter. No need for a special adapter box.

I use the same type of cable to hook my tv up to my sound system.

Taking a shot in the dark here. Your monitor will accept HDMI input, but monitor audio is typically handled through a separate 3.5mm analog jack.

This freeview box is £22.99 and has HDMI and RCA outputs.

It's possible that the box will allow you to split the audio signal from the video signal, but I can't be certain. You could use one of these cables to convert the RCA audio output to the necessary 3.5mm input on your monitor.

You could try asking the seller on Amazon. They seem to be answering technical questions for people. Just ask "Can I use HDMI for video and RCA for audio?"

That makes sense, nothing will be detected because that USB plug will only power the headset.

With the Red and White connectors you will need something like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS

That will take the Audio out of your PC and into the headset.

You need a 3.5mm to RCA cable (looks like http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Jack-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS)

Work out how much speaker cable you need and buy that (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisual-Install-Profile-Speaker-Cable/dp/B002RQHH4M)

Then you can either spend a few dollerydoos on 4x banana plugs (http://www.amazon.co.uk/SODIAL-Plated-Banana-Speaker-Connectors/dp/B00K67XWMK) or insert the cable into the little holes on the speaker inputs and screw them down (depends on the speaker)

Most stereo 3.5mm jack to RCA Phono cables are easily split. You just pull them apart. They're only joined together by a thin part of the rubber. I'm pretty sure it's what they're designed for as I've been doing that for as long as I remember: same for speaker cable.

Get a three metre one to give you some slack. Amazon has them cheap or you can go cheaper if you just want to try it.

Noob here, people at r/pcmasterrace told me to come here

I have been using a Cambridge Audio Azur 540r with the two included speakers in stereo for a while now, and I want to add a center speaker (also adding a subwoofer and maybe two rear speakers later for 5.1 with sub). I wanted to get somebody to check my working before I buy so I know everything is right

Here is the manual for my motherboard (See page 21)

Here is the manual for my amp (See pages 3, 4 and 6)

By my understanding, to achieve 5.1 with a subwoofer I would need

• 3.5mm to 2 RCA cable like this from the headphone port on my motherboard (green) to the L and R ports of the 6.1 direct in space on my amp for the front two speakers, I already have one of these set up
  
• Another 3.5mm to 2 RCA to go from Center/Subwoofer port on my motherboard (orange) to the Cen and SW ports of the 6.1 direct in space for the center speaker and subwoofer
  
• Another 3.5mm to 2 RCA to go from the Rear Speaker Out (Black) on my motherboard to the SL (Surround left) and SR (Surround right) ports of the 6.1 direct in space for the surround left and surround right speakers
  
  Then I would simply wire the speakers to the output ports, with the subwoofer in the SW port of the 6.1 preamp out space
  
  Am I right in this? Don't want to buy cables and route them to be wrong.
  
  Also, if this is what I will in fact need, I would rather buy one cable that has all the connectors I need instead of buying multiple. Ideally I would like something that has three 3.5mm jacks (L and R, Sub and Cen, SL and SR from motherboard) on one end and the six RCA jacks (L, R, Sub, Cen, SL, SR into the amp) as opposed to having three copies of the cable linked above. I can't seem to find any online so would it be better if I just did it with the three cables instead?

Well luckily it does seem one pair of the RCA audio input does link with the PC video inputs: https://i.imgur.com/PumIxDU.png?1

However since it's RCA input, you'll need something like this to connect the HDMI to DVI/VGA + audio out adapter to it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable-black/dp/B000Q6LSVS

That's assuming you use an adapter like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/70uukv/chromecast_to_nonsmart_tv/dn7mq08/

This standard cable looks like it should fit, could it work?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420940372&sr=8-1&keywords=rca+to+3.5mm

The only outputs is can find on the tv is the Optical/toslink and headphone out. Your speaker system does not have optical but you can use a 3.5mm male jack to male jack cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stereo-Audio-Cable-Meter-3-5mm/dp/B000Q6LT26/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1458646745&sr=1-5

or a male jack to male rca connector: http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Jack-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1458646745&sr=1-9

but it will never be true 5.1, it seems by the speaker inputs that a jack to jack connector would be used as a 6ch input? i'm guessing it should be inserted into the green input.

edit: completely forgot about HDMI audio, but your speakers does not support this either.

yes, you can take the headphone output of the TV and hook it up to the speakers with this kind of a cable:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/

What cables do the speakers have?

According to the mobo manual you have;


>6 x audio jacks(Center/Subwoofer Speaker Out/Rear Speaker Out/Side Speaker Out/Line In/Line Out/Microphone

So for the sub you need this cable and put it into the orange slot.

And then the normal speakers go into the Grey if you want side speakers, Black for rear, Green for front :)

edit-

Opps, sorry. Didn't see the pic properly. Those are speaker outs. So the speakers can connect in there.

What type of input goes into the sub?

You can't do this with an adapter. You need at minimum some kind of amplifier. Easiest is to hide the music center and connect pc speaker out to it, going into Aux. This cable will probably fit.

Might need this to get the sound from the RCA connectors into the 2.1 systems' 3.5 jack unless there is a HDMI to HDMI + 3.5 jack unit available.
