Re: Connecting your Laptop or Desktop to your existing sound equipment!

Also, if your computer has S-video output, you can avoid the converter that converts a VGA signal - an RF modulator is still needed if you're connecting to TV(s) via coax. Instead of using the headphone jack, I opted for a USB audio device (from M-Audio) - I was getting "noise" through the headphone jack that I don't get via USB, and the audio signal seems to be stronger. The output from that device still uses a 3mm stereo plug (just like the headphone jack on a PC), so connecting to the mixer is the same. Instead of using RCA cables to connect to the mixer, I use 1/4" jacks and plug into a stereo channel on the mixer - I can then use the channel faders to control music volume just like I use them to control each mic's volume. Just some other options...
