Hello everyone!

 

So I have Yamada home theatre system with 5.1 Audio. I haven`t used it for like 5 years so I decided to improve my PC audio experience :) So there is my setup (photos below):

 

  • My motherboard (ASUS F2A85-V PRO)
  • Yamada audio system from home cinema setup (5.1)
  • Cables

What cables do I need to connect it to my pc? Will I need to install something? I know little about audio stuff so please help dear people of LTT forum :D

 

Thank you! :)

You'd need a RCA/Component to green[PC Audio] cable or adapter.

my pc has rear, side, and subwoofer audio ports(aux) also line out and audio out. does that change anything?

Can you show me a pic of the back where the audio ports are?  Sometimes PCs only like to use VGA, headphone, mic, green, and HDMI for audio even if they have other ports.  It really depends on the motherboard, and/or if some ports are dead or not.

Damn that thing looks vintage as hell....

 

You'd need 3x RCA to 3.5mm stereo cable. Amazon or ebay is a good source, or just search your local shop. They're dirt cheap.

 

After you got the 3x cables above:

 

- connect the satellites first (to the audio out of that sub/control center)

- plug all 3x RCA cables to the audio in

- plug the other ends of the RCA cables (the 3.5mm ends) to your onboard audio jacks accordingly. Might want to refer to your mobo's manual for the correct jacks

- profit!!

Wonderful is only fitting for a good system. I didn't even know that Yamada makes audio systems. With that small power plug, that system looks very cheap. I don't think it will sound good at all, but who knows, maybe you'll like it.

 Everything is kind of okay. But now I faced a problem and I don`t know how to solve it. When I play my music take for example winamp, It is perfect everything is up and running. But as soon as I turn on my Youtube playlist Just FR;FL and Subwoofer plays the music, center, SR and SL are just sitting there and doing nothing. I checked realtek drivers and everything works and it is placed well, also I ran sound tests and everything works ok except Youtube :(

Nope, thats just what happens. YT and other browser based aplications do not take advantage of surround
