I have my system hooked to my comp to so I can hear my games and music through my JBL speakers. I got this cord the first starts out as a normal headphone looking plug then at the end of the wire it makes it to a normal red and black cords that are used to hook up receivers and hooking other things like tv's and stuff. I think they are called the a/v cords. But I do recommend you use a receiver like I do so you would have enough power to play sounds off your comp since if you dont use it you wont have enough volume. I have done these things before since I was in 6th grade so I know how to hook receivers to comps. I am 19 now though so it was a while back.
