ONKYO hTX-22HDX can i use this with my pc ?

[trapster]

can i use the onkyo HTX-22HDX as a speaker system for my pc ?

i want to use it more for music rather than games or films

the pc only seems to have the small 3.5mm jacks on the motherboard and there does not seem to be any of those type connections on the back of the onkyo sub/amp ?

so i assume i need to get a 3.5mm connection to RCA white and red connections that will fit in the back of the onkyo ?

will this sound ok for music ? streaming from spotify ?

or should i go for something else ?

they have it for sale on amazon for £191 inc del at the moment so would like to get it if it will work with my pc

would the below be ok and is that what i need ?

Yes, you will be able to connect it with one of those cables.

I have a similar set up with my PC and an old home cinema system. I have it connected with one of the “Professional” cables from here:

Whether you’d notice any difference between the various priced cables or not, I don’t know.
