I’m only interested in getting MP3 music to my stereo and don’t care about surround sound I tried for a while to get a digital signal from my Audigy 2 to my receiver but finally realized my Sony 333ES didn't have enough digital inputs to accept another. So I decided to split the analog sound from my Audigy 2's front/right,left channel output and send an analog signal to the receiver. I then plugged it into my CD RCA plugs since I’m not using them. I now get sound out of my receiver from my computer but it’s also got a high pitched squeal/hiss as well. The first thing I did was unplug the cable from my computer and the hiss is still there…which leads me to believe it’s coming from the cable alone. Below is how I hooked the whole thing up:
I split the signal from the front speaker output on the Audigy2 using a small headphone signal splitter. I then ran the sound to my receiver using a 10 foot, standard headphone extension cord. I then got a converter that split the signal from a headphone connection to 2 RCA R/L plugs which I plugged into my CD input.
Any ideas of what is wrong? Do I need to get a shielded cable so it doesn’t pick up the hum? Is there such a thing as a shielded headphone extension cable? Currently the computer and the receiver are in different rooms that share a common wall. The cable runs through holes I drilled in the wall (to my wife’s horror)
Thanks for any input
