RE: Headphone out from a netbook is analog only not digital that means the netbook computer is doing

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Thanks for the ongoing help!

the digital to analog conversion with its built-in sound card and outputting an analog right and left channel audio signal. This would be connected to the CD or AUX inputs on the receiver NOT the digital input on the receiver.

The RCA ends of the cable are plugged into the CD inputs on the receiver.

Also you mentioned quote, “jumpered main in and pre out for the front speakers using male-male RCA cables” why are you shorting these connections?

The manual says that you need the jumpers if you aren't driving the speakers with an external amp. Since I don't have the jumper plugs, I'm using the RCA cables (suggested by an online source).

Make certain that the receiver is set to the CD or AUX source selection whichever one you connected the cable from the netbook computer to.

Definitely set to CD.

Additionally you wrote, “speaker wire (bare wire) going from the speakers to the front speaker hookups on the receiver” I hope you meant that only the ends of the speaker cable are bare wire connected to the speaker out binding posts on the receiver, the length of speaker wire itself should be insulated or else there will be a dead short between positive and ground and will fry the output transistors on the receiver.

I'm bad, but not that bad! Bare at the ends.
