How to connect stereo (bose system) to computer?

[DumbGuy]

Hey guys, I'm throwing a little party tomorrow (saturday) and my computer speakers don't pump as much volume as the bose.
Here's a pic of what the bose looks from the back: bose-back

What cables to do I need? (BTW, I have a Soundblaster live value)

Thanks !

3.5mm plug to rca compostite cable. Should be about $5-10 at Radio Shack.

thanks... is this cable that brings 2 connectors (both left, and right speakers) and one analog-like (this would be connected to the computer) ?

SNR. I have an SBLive on my HTPC right now - the cable between the card and the reciever is one of my patented solid copper beasts. There is no noise when the SBLive is disconnected, but the second it's plugged in, the speakers are noticably crackling.

there is noise from my audigy when i connect it to my HT. it can be avoided by just lowering teh outout from teh soundcard and doing it from teh receiver. lowers te noise level 10 fold

or you can but a beter cound card. audigy 2, M audio rev, phillips AE

Of course. Why use PCI bus power to boost the signal when you have 500w to do it just down the pipe? It's still there, though. Pisses me off. I intend to put in an M-Audio Delta 44 eventually.

yea its still there but at least its less noticable. for most people that will be fine. for thoes of us that are audio nuts a better SC is the only way to go

Dude.. How can you NOT know how to connect a stereo to a computer? That's like asking "How do I answer my telephone?"
