What inputs are present in the HTIB? If it has a stereo (3.5mm) jack for input then you can connect the speaker out of the pc to it. If it has RCA input then you will need a RCA to 3.5mm converter to connect to pc.

You can also use a sound card with optical or co-axial output and connect it to the optical/co-axial input of the HTIB.

Yes it has 3.5mm audio in front and da audio in in rear

Check whether the front 3.5mm is for headphone or not. If it is for headphone then you can't connect pc speaker out put to it.

It is mentioned as Audio in

Then you can connect the speaker or headphone out of the pc to this. However you won't get true surround sound. For this you will need to use optical or co-axial connection from pc to htib.

buy a SPDIF header for PC, buy a optical or coaxial cable, connect the header on the motherboard pins, connect SPDIF header of PC to sony with the cable. This the "only" way you will get true surround.

sorry buddy, you cant connect HTPC to HTib to get true 5.1 but you can try Prologic II

 

[kaptan]

Ok Prologic is OK for me. How to connect the pc to it

 

[vaibhavyagnik]

does your home theatre have something like TV in aur AUX? if yes then you need http://www.ezshopfun.com/images/10002274-0m.jpg. Connect the 3.5 mm jack to one of the ports of computers audio panel, and other two to HTiB. In pop up that comes on computer, select "line out".

 

[kaptan]

Ok I will try and let u know. I have aux in in front and audio in in rear

I think the best possible with this is to give stereo input form pc to htib and select prologic processing in htib to have some effect. nothing else is possible.
