Best Answer

In general, you cannot connect a pair of speakers to a computer, because the computer's sound board does not normally include a power amplifier fit to drive a speaker.

It might be possible to drive very small speakers with a high impedance directly from a sound board's headphone output, though.

Note that most "PC Speakers" can be directly connected to a computer's audio output because the speaker itself contains a power amplifier. Strictly speaking, such a speaker is a combination of a loudspeaker and an amplifier (sometimes also called an active speaker).

How do i install new speakers on my computer?

Installing new speakers on a desktop computer is a very simple procedure. First, you must connect the speakers and the computer via usb cable that came with the computer. The best place to connect this perhaps is on the back of the computer. Then, plus in the 3.5 mm jack on the computer. Plug the power chord, turn the speakers on, and your all set!

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.
