Does anyone know where I can find an adapter between a typical 1/8" stereo jack and the 4 wire sound card cable that goes from a CD-ROM into a sound card? I want to use the AUX input on my soundcard, but I need an adapter like this, and have not been able to find anything online - it also helps that I dont know exactly what to call it

just make your own from a spare 4 wire sound card cable and solder on a female 1/8" stereo jack from radio shack.

alternatively you could just use your mic or line in on the back of the sound card

if you want to have 2 sources on your only line input, then just get a little switch like this one from plantronics for instance: http://www.tritechcoa.com/product/791423.html

problem is, the digital out is the same as my only line in... and to have my tv tuner actually have sound, it needs the line in


ill probablytry the homemade approach thanks

one is right one's left and one's ground you could do it just by twisting the wires together.

don't matter if it is balanced on the AUX out, it's going to be going to an unbalanced 1/8th
