OK i want to plug my Creative PC speakers into my PS3 through the PS3 or TV as im having alot of sound issues which cant be resolved so I wont go there. Anyhoo The only input socket I can see going into the Creative set is a green (Headphone like) connector so im assuming I will need to buy a cable which has the red and white male connectors on one end and the green single connector on the other. I will plug the speaker set into either my TV or PS3. Anyway the problem is I cant find the cable on a site to buy it as i dont know what discription to use when searching so i cant find 1!! Can anyone help?

Also as an afterthought could i get a optical cable which has a green audio connector on the other end? Would that be better.

ALSO.. as a second after thought if anyone has better ideas of how to connect they would be greatly recieved.

Phew!! I hate typing......

Cheers AD

Try composite or rca audio adaptor. And do you mean it IS a headphone jack or just LIKE a headphone jack?

If your TV has a headphone jack on it you could get a male to male headphone extension cord, you would loose the TV's audio though.


PSP 2.6 > 2.71 > 1.5 > 3.02 oe-b > 3.03 oe-c > 3.30 oe-a > 3.71 m33-2
PS3 60gig 1.55 > ... > 2.41

I have my PS3 hooked up to both my Creative PC speakers and my TV speakers.
i set it up as follows:
Connected a phono splitter to the sound output from the PS3. This then gave me 4 sound outputs (2 left and 2 right). 1 of each went straight into the back of my TV, and a used a twin phono to 3.5mm converter to plug the other 2 outputs into the LINE IN on my PC's sound card..

The finished set up looks something like this:





(sorry for the poor quality diagram...but its 1 am over here)

The sound then plays through both my TV speakers and my Creative PC speakers. I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for, but I'm really pleased with the setup, and it gives really good quality sound.

The phono splitter's looks like this:



and this is the phono to 3.5mm converter:

Its a normal 3.5mm headphone jack i think, the same size as a headphone jack, and it comes straight out of the sound card.

The only problem with just using the 3.5mm converter is that you will have to have your PC on for the sound to work. Thats one of the main reasons i used the splitters to link into my TV aswell.

it does give good quality sound though, just make sure you get a gold plated one...i got mine from HERE.
