Wii with WinTV

Fudgenut · #1 03-19-2007, 09:03 PM

I'm trying to hook up my Nintendo Wii to my computer using my WinTV card. The video works, but no sound obviously. Any ideas on how to plug in the red and white audio cables into my computer? I would be willing to buy an extra set of speakers, if there are some that take red and white cables.

Thanks!

If you're going to get an extra set of speakers, all you need is a y-connector cable with red and yellow female plugs and a mini headphone plug to plug the speakers into.

Alternatively there are a bunch of soundcards available with breakout boxes that have a bunch of different inputs if you are looking to add more systems to your set up later without having to buy additional speakers.

You need an RCA to mini stereo plug. I assume your PC soundcard has an input jack?

Ok, so this connector will have 2 females on one side and 1 female on the other side, right?

no its 2 female RCAs on one end and a mini plug on the other. what sound card do you have? It's hard to recommend anything without knowing that.
