Re: 5.1 Surround sound connection question
Bah - so I went to shop to get these cables (a male mini heaphone to plug into the soundcard on one end, an RCA on the other end to plug into the subwoofer/control unit (which I now discover to be an LG 3000AWE), all pleased that after years of having this stuff lying around, it's finally going to do what it's designed to, only to be told by the fellow behind the counter that this will never work. He's one of these super confident, very helpful type chaps, so I don't want to just say "give me the cables and let me try", so we end up in an hour long discussion that goes way over my head, and I walk out with no cables.
I just wanted to clarify, before I boldly march in there tomorrow and demand the cables of my choice - The cable I described at the beginning of this post is correct, is it? Also, I had a closer look at the back of the subwoofer - there is a RCA socket for R, for L, and another RCA socket labelled "coaxial". What I'm after is 3 separate cables, all the same, to go from each of these three sockets inot 3 of the mini headphone sockets on my soundcard?
Man, this is a baffling field to the ignorant layman.
Thanks for any help!
