Help related connecting speakers to pc

[Desi__]

Guys please help.
My home theater/dvd player is not working and its 5.1 speakers work completely fine. Is there anyway i can connect the speakers directly with my pc?
Thanks

No, assuming your speakers use two parallel wires for connectivity. Your speakers need an amplifier, which the home theater provided. You need something to replace that missing element -- like a new home theater receiver ...

Personally I'd just buy a dedicated set of active 5.1 PC speakers with amp built in to the sub-woofer unit. Would save a lot of hassle and you won't have to find space for a separate amp near your PC (not to mention all those extra speaker wires coming from it).

May be you could find a buyer for those HT speakers?
