        There aren't many computer speakers that came close to sounding good to me
compared to a real home stereo system.

        I'm not sure what you mean by "maximize this connection". If you mean sound
quality wise it depends on how far your stereo is from the computer. The
longer this connection the better quality cable you should get. I myself
pump the sound from my computer to my home theatre receiver at a distance of
about 5 meters. I built my own cable and it sounds great. Of course to ideal
option is to connect them together digtally, it is possible your sound card
has digital out, however only home theatre receivers tend to have any sort
of digital input. TTYL
