Well it would be very bad as you need 3.5mm jacks, but yes powered speakers and a powered sub via 3.5mm cables can attach to a PC.

Re: Connecting 2 speakers and a sub to pc?

You can buy an external soundcard with high quality RCA outputs.

I think the quality has less to do with the connector itself and more with the quality of the built-in soundcards...

Re: Do you need a 5.1 Amplifier for a subwoofer

I think you should stick to one thread... It may take some time, but there is always an answer. If not, then probably nobody can answer it, and posting again will not change that

BTW, take a look at your other thread asking basically the same...
