Putting sound through TV speakers?
SmartBomb:
Just for fun, before installing the speakers in my cab, I thought I'd hook up the soundcard from my computer to the "sound in" jacks on my TV - you know the red and white RCA jacks? It works great...the sound is pretty good, loud enough and everything. Wondering why Saint didn't suggest that in the book?

Didn't think of it :)
tribalredfox:
You actually don't need RCA either. You can connect it if the sound card produces the right output.
If you know the impedance (indicated in Ohms) and match that with an amp then it should work too.
Though, just spending some $40 on a sound card with RCA output as you mentioned is much easier and cleaner looking.

My 1st cab - not exactly a cabinet, http://www.carnine.net/mame relies on an external TV exclusively for sound and video. It of course can also be hooked up to the audio-in on the receiver for rediculous simulated-4-speaker surround.

Also - GREAT book, it was my bible for quite a few months while building and researching.
