But generally, it will not sound nearly as good. I'll assume that you'll be using MP3s as your source from your computer. This will not be nearly as good listening to a CD. Does your PC soundcard have a line out to connect to an external source?

I recently found a cable that connects to my laptop headphones jack and on the other side has 2 RCA female connections with which i connect a Audio RCA cable and on to the AUX output on my receiver but the quality of the sound goes bad if i use high volume. Is there any other way that I can connect?
