The inside of a computer is noisy and affects sound quality. You can improve the sound by upgrading your computer’s sound card, adding external speakers, or connecting your computer to your stereo system.

Connecting to Your Stereo System
- Get a long cable with a stereo mini-jack on one end and a pair of RCA plugs on the other end.
- Connect the mini-jack to your computer’s sound card.
- Connect the RCA plugs to the auxiliary input of your stereo amplifier, receiver or mini-system.

Upgrading Your Equipment
- Buy higher quality computer speakers.
- Get a better sound card, particularly if your current sound card uses the ISA, rather than the PCI, bus.
