Connecting ordinary speakers to a computer, as a rule, does not involve any particular difficulties. But connecting a speaker system has a number of difficulties and several solutions. For a successful connection, you should familiarize yourself with the technical capabilities of the audio card.
Instructions
Step 1
Determine how many inputs or jacks your computer sound card has. Depending on this, you will be able to connect the speakers to your computer. If you decide to connect speakers "5 and 1", then several jacks will be used.
Step 2
Take the signal cable from the speakers (green).
Step 3
Connect the cable to the audio-out connector (green) on the back of the system unit.
Step 4
Turn on your computer.
Step 5
Plug in the speakers and check the sound. If there is no sound, go to the control panel. Find Sounds and Audio Devices and turn it on under Sound.
Step 6
Adjust the volume.
Step 7
Check for multichannel support for your computer sound card if you want to connect a 5 and 1 speaker system. To connect your speakers to your computer, ideally you need 7 connectors: line-in, line-out, microphone, rear speaker, subwoofer and two digital audio outputs. But if the computer is not modern enough, you can connect the speaker system in other ways.
Step 8
Connect the cables to the appropriate connectors (refer to the colors) on the volume control module.
Step 9
Connect the power supply, speakers, subwoofer, observing the polarity of the connectors. As a result, all connectors on the module must be enabled.
Step 10
Connect the cables to the connectors on the computer according to the colors (green, blue or black, orange or yellow). This solution will be inconvenient if you have to connect a microphone to your computer in the future. Then you will have to turn off the entire acoustics system.
Step 11
Connect the front speaker cable to the green output. Connect the rear speaker cable to the blue connector. Subwoofer cable to the pink input where a microphone is sometimes connected.
Step 12
Set up your computer by selecting 6-channel mode.
