How could i hook up the Onkyo TX-SR601 to my computer?

[MikeMike]

so that i can play the songs on my computer, and then have them output to the receiver and then out to my speakers?

Check the manual that came with your audio card.

Get a 1/8" mini stereo jack to dual RCA cable.

Connect the headphone side to the line out of your soundcard and the 2 RCAs to one of the inputs on the receiver.

line out of your sound card to the audio in or video in of your receiver.
easy as that.

 

[biostud]

Either through digital out on soundcard to digital in on reciever, or from analoge out to 5.1 in (this will take 3 wires one for front stereo, one for rear stereo and one for sub/centre).

 

[MikeMike]

ok, i figured they would make something like you described aves2k.

Just for fun a couple of years ago I tried this on my iMac; outputting iTunes to my HT. Didn't work out so well, likely thanks to the lack of good quality sound on the iMac.

You have optical out? Just plug and play

This is definitely preferred over the RCA cables if you have the capability.

I do this on my laptop and plug it into my home theater system. I've got it running across my floor right now. I can't imagine your iMac having worse sound than my laptop. It does sound like crap when no music is playing though...I can hear hissing and extra noise from my computer.
