[turbog03]

FYI: Singal in and signal out are two completely different hardware protocols. It's like asking your nose to become your ear which it is not hardwired to do!!! And....why in the world would you even think you needed to do this in the first place???? If you audio out is dead = new sound card!!! I'm confused!!!

my sound card is fine. i just wanted to be able to hear music from my computer through my stereo but still have the option of hearing it through my computer speakers, but i only have one output signal. my sound card is perfectly fine as far as i know. could i just buy one of those headphone splitters and would it do the same thing or would it cut down on the signal strength or just not work period?

You can do that very easily. You simply buy a mini splitter and then a 1/8" to RCA cable and hook it into your stereo:

the mini splitter goes into your soundcard out>the 1/8" out to RCA connects to one port of the mini splitter and your computer speakers to the other. Result = Stereo amp and computer speakers a gogo

Edit: Just go to Radio shack and tell them what you want to do....they will fix you up!

i dunno, ipodlinux can turn the headphone jack into a mic jack

Hard to believe that a software program is going to change the circuitboard config and etching on a sound card??? How does it do that. I'm fascinated?
