I have a computer with an S/PDIF output jack on the back and wish to hook it up to a standard tube tv with dual mono audio jacks.
My question pertains to which cables i should use or whether it is possible. I don't have the money right now to buy a home theater reciever and would like to know whether i could just buy a standard coaxial cable that splits one end in to two to make this work.
That output is designed to work in conjunction with a unit that can decode the digital signals. You cannot use regular RCA patch cables to connect them to your TV.
You need the analog output from your PC to connect to a regular TV.
So in other words I need to buy a mini plug splitter cable. Thank you for your reply, I am new to the audio concepts of home theater setups and appreciate it very much.
