Maybe you could clarify whether you are referring to active (amp included) or passive speakers (external amp required)? – Uwe Honekamp Aug 31 '09 at 5:13

You can use a 3.5mm stereo plug soldered to the speaker cables alright but it wouldn't be much fun; most sound cards have no more than 2 Watt output, just about enough push a set of headphones. You'll need amplification.

Use a 3.5mm stereo to cinch cable and connect the sound card to your stereo set's AUX**illary **IN.
