Headphone jack to surround sound

[SameerK]

So I have my computer connected to my surround sound system in the living room. In my room, I have the Logitech X-530 speakers, and the front right speaker has a headphone jack on it.

So whenever I need to play music in the living room, I just take out the X-530 wires out from my soundcard, and put in the Y-splitter that goes to my system. My question is, do I even need to do that, or can I simply put the Y-splitter into the headphone jack on the right speaker in my room. Would it be of lesser quality putting it through the headphone jack rather than the sound card?

not sure if I follow you correctly.
Your soundcard outputs to >>>>speakers.
Speakers also have hp out, so spks output to>>>>headphone out
If you are disconnecting speakers form computer I presume you do so in order to connect the to some other source, i.e. input not output. Correct?

Both will work.

I think you're better off going from the soundcard.

You can try it and see what you think though.
