Would this work if I plug this out of my motherboard's s/pdif? The sound chip on the pc is a 7.1 but I only want to use it for stereo.

Yes, it will work, but you will need to configure the audio output to PCM first. The output is stereo.

The FiiO D3 has a switch to select either an optical or a coaxial digital input. Its output is analog stereo. I feed the Dolby Digital 5.1 optical signal from my TV to the converter input, and its output to an older analog stereo amplifier without any problem.
1000122
actually, I misunderstood the question, if you are using an S/PDIF Coaxial, that would work.
1000123
no, no input for s/pdif you have coaxial, or optical. I use it for an older receiver from my late grandfather, it does not have optical or digital coax so this converts the optical signal into an analog out to a 1/8 TRS stereo RCA stereo connection from my Apple TV.

Hi... It should do what you want. It's a basic input output switch. If you have PC 1 and PC 2 going into it with the output going to your speakers you should be able to switch between the 2 pc's . I use it for almost the same thing. I have an iPod and CD player the I go back and forth with to the same speakers. It should do the exact same with your 2 PC's . Hope this helps!

I can't answer for every kind of motherboard, but mine sounds great without a sound card. And I run it without any equalization at all.

You would need a DAC - Digital to Analog Converter. There are TONS of these available but this is not one of them.

I use it through an audio interface. I think it should work if you connect it to a PC, but I haven't tried. Maybe you'll have low volume but I'm not really sure. I hope you can use it without problems

You could use an 8th to RCA adapter cable and it would work. Best use is to put a DAC in front and run from a computer though.

if you use the USB connector you only hear a stereo version and you can use the microphone. If you want an 7.1 experience your PC must have an S/PDIF entry, If your computer does not have one, you can do what I do. Connect my computer with a HDMI cable to my TV, and my TV have a S/PDIF entry and plug the Headsets Decoder Box, that give you an 7.1 sound (you must configure the OUT audio options to you TV connection, then the signal will transferred like this: 7.1 Audio from PC to TV then, Decoder Box and the box will give to headsets a 7.1 sound)Sorry for my English

I looped my audio through a stereo using audio in and out in addition to headphones an its still worked i would assume so if your computer has internal speaker (mine doesnt) just make sure you have everything configure properly.

if sound sys has rca out or in....???? PC in or out... must pass through what your are trying to do, but quality won't be high Price is reasonable to try... My denon receiver is good at passing through rca or HDMI. USB may need to be 3.0 or higher...

Either will work. If you plug into the pre-amp your PC can be one of the components you can select to hear.

I did this and it work very well. I unplug the speakers from the sound card on my computer. I set the speakers aside and did not use them. I connected the output of my sound card to aux. 1 on my Pyle PTA2. I went to DAV Thrist store and bought two speakers and connected them to my Pyle PTA2, this work very well with out any distoration.

These speakers are meant for use with a stereo receiver, so unless you have a receiver connected to your PC, probably not.

Not necessarily. A decent MOBO will have the channels to make it work but I use a Asus Xonar DGX with mine. Unless you are an audiophile any 5.1 sound card will be fine.

Yes, this will work. It essentially becomes your new sound card. That said the sound quality out of this device isn't impressive but it's functional.

It has a standard PCI interface. If your board has that then it should work. It's a middle quality board. The driver is low quality but you can research the chip manufacturer and download the native driver with lower overhead but less features. You get what you pay for and this board is better than no sound, which is what I had. If you want a high quality gamer, research the different sound card chip sets and find a board with a high performance architecture.

No, if you get the right cable, you can plug it into your computer input or into your stereo. Should work just fine, and the cables are cheap.

I imagine it would work as long as the pins line up and your stereo uses that port for an auxiliary connection. Notice that the connection itself has multiple pins however the 3.5mm jack only has two for the left and right. It would depend on which pins are active in the cable and which pins your stereo accepts auxiliary input from. TL/DR: Maybe, it's only $10, order it and return it if it doesn't work. Please post you're findings.
