Hi

this is probably a very stupid question but have just gained a pair of white Audioengine A2+ speakers and am unsure the best way to connect them to my PC for the best sound quality.

My PC uses Realtek on-board or have audio from my gfx card. I was told that the best way to connect them is via USB; this has great sound but it is seen by my PC as headphones.

Do USB and the 3.5mm not have the same quality sound?

If I used the 3.5mm in the 'line-out' i'd surely be able to alter the sound more to my liking?

Many thanks for help in advance.
