Stereo speakers generally have a much more desirable quality than computer speakers. Most computer speakers have a tendency to develop a grainy or "tinny" sound quality after a while. In addition to this, they are also more susceptible to suffer negative effects when exposed to moisture. This is also applicable with simple seasonal humidity, so it is important to have durable speakers. Stereo speakers are not much more expensive than computer speakers. When compared in price and quality, stereo speakers always win. It is possible to use them instead of regular computer speakers on any PC. This article will explain just how simple the task is.
Not every computer is the same, so the first step in this process is to look at the PC that the speakers will be connected to. Look at the size of the speaker plugs and RCA jack; compare them with the computer's. In most cases the computer's will be smaller. If this is the case, make a trip to a local electronics discount store to purchase a converter plug. This will make it possible to plug the speakers into the computer, even though the jack and plug are a different size. Be sure the correct size measurements are taken before purchasing a converter. It is important not to guess, as measurements are in millimeters, so it is difficult to determine the difference.
Turn off the computer before connecting the speakers. Sometimes it may be possible to do this, but some computers have shorted out when people try to connect new devices while the machine is running. After the PC is powered off, plug in the converter. Next, be sure all the cords and plugs are hooked up to the speakers correctly. The audio in and audio out jacks should all be in the right places. If necessary, consult the instructions. Set the speakers up in the desired place. Make sure they are turned off. Turn the computer on after all cords are secured and speakers are off. After the computer starts up, there should be a notification in the taskbar that new hardware has been found. If not, it will be necessary to open the PC's control panel to manually add the new hardware. After following the prompts to add the new speakers, test their volume levels. Set the volume controls and quality levels for the desired sound experience. Be sure to keep the speakers clean. Computer fans blow dust in the air around and it tends to collect in nearby speakers.
It doesnt really matter how far your speakers are from the tower.
Regular passive (non-amplified) speakers will need to be connected to a power amp (an old stereo receiver can do this). Connect the line out of the computer to the aux or tape in of the receiver, and then connect speaker cables from the receiver to each of the speakers.

Connect the speaker cables to the appropriate audio output port on the back or front of the PC, usually marked with a headphone or speaker icon.

Finally, test the speakers with audio playback to confirm proper installation.
Yes, just find a 1/8 inch cable, such as the cable used for plugging an iPod into a car stereo, and plug it into the microphone jack on your computer. Nothing that you listen to through headphones could bust your PC speakers.

I have tried this before and it has not worked for me. I think your PC speakers only work on your PC. Also I just got a new TV and I tried the PC speakers and they didn't work. Hope this helps :)
Find the audio-out port on the back of your PC or side of your laptop (usually a green marker with a picture of headphones or sound waves), and plug in headphones or speakers. If you only have the white and red stereo cables, head over to a wal-mart and buy a "Y-Splitter" so that it will fit into the computer and plug your stereo cables into the splitter.
It's digitally converted to small electrical signals that move the coil back and forth in the magnet of the speaker. It's just a matter of creating compilations of vibrations that create sound so we can hear music.
