I have some logitech surround sound computer speakers (http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2,CONTENTID=5044) and I recently got a receiver which I have in my living room hooked up to my tv. I decided I wanted to use my computer speakers for the tv to get good surround sound (and then just get cheap computer speakers.) I was able to hook the 4 regular speakers up to the receiver since they just connect using standard stereo wire. However, the subwoofer connects to the volume/power controller and then connects to my sound card with the standard green plug in the back of my computer. That standard green plug doesnt fit anywhere into the receiver. Is there any such adapter that I can use to connect the sub to the receiver? Thanks

An adapter would be something like this: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=42-2550 with a gender changer on the mini-jack end. That will give you your signal. Whether that will really work is the question. I think it should, the subwoofer shouldn't really care about the absence of the speakers or other inputs.
