I'm assuming that you would do best to hook these speakers up by their 
analog cable to your computer's analog output.  Although these speakers have 
a digital input cable, I believe that you would need a sound card that has a 
digital output and is perhaps capable of digital decoding, since I don't 
think these speakers have a decoder.

In any case, this is as a is what I could find,
