    Hi, im having trouble with my Regent Home Theater System Surround Sound speakers Model HT-391. The problem is, i am trying to hook it to my computer, but when i do, it makes this long background noise like (buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) and when i play music, it doesnt come out straight. Also, the subwolfers doesnt work when i pluged it in my computer. Now, when i plug it in to my Ipod, everything works fine. Do i need some sort of sound card or software?

    have u changed speaker configuration from 2 to 5-1, i had problems with my sound card and changed up to a more expensive and the quality and sound is superb now.
    i dont know if a home system is compatible with pc!

    if your connecting the computer to stereo with the 2 channel RCA plugs you need to install a floating ground filter: check here:

    if you are using 5.1 SPDIF/TosLink as your connection, you need to set the output of your computer correctly and you should be good.
