[SOLVED] Where do I plug in the Speakers?

[versionmanager]

Is it possible to connect two outdoor Bose speakers directly to an Gigabyte Aorus Elite x570 board ? These speakers are simple porch speakers and do not draw heavy duty Wattage as with most Bose's speakers.

In the Manual I see a Line out (3.5 MM) nd an S/PDIF output on back of the system. The Audio section of the manual refers to “ 2/4/ 5 -1/ 7.1 - channel”. Where on the board are the ports to accommodate this Home Theatre format?

A more difficult configuration but doable alternative is to run wires from the MB to RCA jacks the back of my n Onyko TX - NR545 stereo receiver. I know the RCA input cable approach seems archaic but this format is required for additional speakers if running a 7.1 system without having to use a AB Speaker box. Yes I know this isn't the HiFi forum.

Bottom line is can I directly plug these Bose porch speakers into the Aorus Elite x570 MB of my Gaming PC? If yes, what are my options?

Thanks' in advance

Model name of your Bose speakers?
or link to product page?

Anyway - separate amplifier most likely is necessary (unless your speakers have built in amplifier).

If they are powered speakers they'd probably work just fine. If not, one option is to get a small class D stereo amp.... something like this. Feed it from the headphone/speaker jacks with an appropriate mini-jack to RCA adapter cable.

Another option is get a mini-DAC and feed it from the the PC either by a USB output or TOS-link for better audio. It's also kind of like a pre-amp in that it let's you select from other sources without interfacing to the PC. But you'll still need the amplifier above, connected to the DAC's output, to feed the speakers.

Get one of these with blue-tooth and visitors will be able to play their music through the speakers without exposing your PC to their phones/devices and possible security issues.
