remus_lupin Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hello, I would like to output music played from my laptop and have it play through the home theater system in my room. The problem is, the system I have is several years old and does not have an hdmi input (which would make my problem super easy to solve). The only outputs I can see in my laptop (for audio) would be an hdmi port and a regular headphone jack (as if I were to listen through headphones) The home theater system I would like to hook my laptop to only has a digital coaxial in, and then just plain old composite cable inputs... other than that I am stuck to listening to the radio (or playing cds/dvd's) I originally used it with my tv when watching movies etc. but now that I have a laptop I took the tv out and wanted to just export audio to the receiver... Is there any adapter or solution that you know of that will help me? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaze_Zewi Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Get yourself a 3.5mm [male] to RCA [male] audio cable and you are set to go. Your local Radio Shack or Best Buy should have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
