Hi all, pardon the newb question.
My Dell desktop came with a subwoofer. I just bought a Sony DEE985 receiver, and wanted to connect my computer's subwoofer to my receiver. Sadly, the subwoofer cable ends in a jack that fits into my sound card (1/8" maybe? like a small headphone jack?), it doesn't fit my receiver. My receiver appears to want the type of jack that normal, three-prong RCA cables have (not sure, though).
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Sorry to be so vague, I just don't know much about AV.
Is there a simple adapter I could buy so my computer's subwoofer could fit into my receiver?
Thanks a ton,
James.
