Any experts here with audio lines and cables

[rutchtkim]

A quick question. What type of line would I need to go from my soundcard to another device such as a TV Tuner? I forgot what that line was called and theres so much to choose from at Radio Shack. Basically it would go from the line out from the tuner card to the line in of the sound card.

Thanks

Probably RCA audio cables?

basically what you need to tell them is that you need a "mini-stereo cable, male-to-male"

There are a couple of choices actually. If its analog mono sound, then you need a minijack to single RCA cable. If its analog stereo sound, then you need a minijack to dual RCA cable. If its digital sound, then it depends on your soundcard, but usually a minijack to single RCA cable works, unless your soundcard has RCA jacks rather than minijack connections, which is very rare.
