When you’re in the mood to start jamming out whether it be at a party, alone in your room, or just chilling out, how do you play your music?  From your computer? But sometimes this just isn’t loud enough! Connecting your computer to a stereo system is one of the easiest and best ways to increase the volume of your tunes.

Ways to Play Music from Computer to Stereo

1)     Directly plugging the stereo system into your computer

2)     Wireless connection through network media bridge

3)     Wi-fi free digital receiver system

How to Play Music from Computer to Stereo

Directly plug the stereo system into your computer: If you want to directly connect your computer and stereo you can buy a simple headphone jack type cord.  This will transfer the music from the headphone jack to be played by the stereo speakers.

Wireless network media bridge: You also have the option of adding a media bridge/receiver device to the wireless Internet network.  This is a very common method to bring music to your stereo from your computer.  You can buy any type of device that you want; they all perform the same function.  You simply connect one part to the computer and the other into the stereo so that they will work in tandem to send music form your computer’s soundcard to the stereo’s amp/speakers.  These types of devices usually run for under $100 but are slightly difficult to add onto a password protected network.

Wi-fi free digital receiver: The third option you have is to use a digital receiver that works with your operating system to create its wireless connection to the stereo transmitter.  These types of devices can enhance the sound of the music and is probably one of the best choices even if it is a little more expensive.

You may have to play around with each of these options to see what works best for your specific needs and for what your computer and stereo system require individually.
