The way I get around it is to use an adapter that has 2 - RCA male ends to plug into the Output of the CD player and a female 1/8 in. stereo female jack on the other to plug the computer speakers into. It is a bit of a hassle, as you have to move the speaker jack out of the computer and into adapter, but you can do that quite a few times for $300. 00. _____

I didn't order the $300 audio system......now I'm questioning that decision. I have nice speakers I can run the computer audio out of......but for the dvd/vcr hook up in the external box.......no dice? There is an audio input jack - but it doesn't appear to route the sound. The display of the dvd is fine. Anyone circumvented a $300 setup? Am I missing something super obvious (I usually am). Thanks, Alicia M. M.
