Hi There. :)

I have the following on my computer;

Creative Inspire TD7700 Speakers (7.1)
Audigy 4 Pro Soundcard (With External Box).

I have the following TV setup;

Xbox 360
Sky+
The TV is a Samsung R88 (Has lots of inputs, dont know whats what)


In the near future I will be changing my room around, and Im having my Computer, Xbox 360 and Sky+ all hooked upto my TV. Currently, Im using the TV's "Inbuilt" speakers. Anywho, what I would like to know if it is possible to connect these speakers to the TV so that all devices will use them rather than the TV speakers?

If so, could you show me some information or explain to me how. Keeping in mind, I know nothing, so speak simple and slow :p

Many Thanks (Can I say Merry Xmas Yet?)

As far as I'm aware, I don't think you can do this?? But I may be wrong. I think those speakers need a pci card to do decoding. Otherwise they'd just be sold as speakers, and not pc speakers.

But like I said, I'm not 100% sure. Sorry if this isn't the clarification you needed but no one else had replied to you so I thought I'd try and help!

EDIT: I lie, you can use 2.1 stereo speakers with your tv, and maybe some others, but not your creative ones.

If you have the inputs on your computer soundcard, it should be possible. I do not know anything about soundcards, so thats up to you or someone else.

Your tv should have RCA audio out which you can input (using an adapter to turn stereo RCA into 3.5mm mini plug). Alternatively, it may have digital out which you can use. Or you could go from the skybox to your pc.

The xbox 360 can be digitial out which should be able to be accepted by the soundcard. (or the same RCA adapter as above)

Obviously the computer has to be on for the speakers to work.
