Re: hooking up to my pc soundcard

Get a cable (at Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, etc) with a 1/8 stereo miniplug on one end (like on walkman headphones) and two male RCA plugs on the other end. Plug the 1/8 miniplug into the soundcard "line out" jack. Plug the two RCA plugs into an unused line-level preamp input (anything except phono.) Set the volume with the PC volume control panel. You may have to enable the 'line out' on the volume control panel by clicking the checkbox if it is not already selected. If the cable isn't long enough, use a headphone extender cable.

Here's a picture of the type of cable to look for:
