Question by : Can you take internal laptop speakers and run them off a standard mono or stereo 3.5mm jack?
For a project I want to connect some old loose internal laptop speakers to my computer via a USB 7.1 external sound card (like a tiny surround sound set up). Do the speakers themselves need to be powered, or can I just wire them to 3.5mm plugs and hook them into the sound card?
Best answer:
Answer by Kim P
I think you can just wire them directly, (no power needed) but you might need to wire in a volume control of some kind so you don’t overpower them and blow them out. Or just make sure you have the volume down when you first try them out. Sounds like a cool project. Good Luck!
