So I've recently bought the Audiophile 192 only to learn that there's more than just 3.5mm (1/8") cables out there in the real world. But I'm not going to toss the $200 PC speakers away because of it. So I've been looking for solutions.

The S/PDIF itself looks pretty complicated enough so I don't really know how to use that. That's why I'm only going to mess with the Analog 1/4" TRS jacks.

I've read from a site where a solution is possible:
1.) PCI CARD ---- 1/4" TRS Female
2.) 1/4" TRS Male mono ---- 1 RCA female
3.) 2 X RCA male (goes to each mono) ---- 3.5mm male
4.) 3.5mm female ---- 3.5mm female
5.) 3.5mm male ---- PC Speakers

(in that order) where ---- are cables.
The part with 3.5mm F / 3.5mm F (cable 4) seems quite redundant since I've have luck finding cables that can go from cable 3 to cable 5 (RCA male / 3.5mm female).

Unfortunately, the hardest cable to find (where I live) is the one in 2). Bestbuy doesn't seem to have anything on this either (last I checked)

So I was just wondering if an alternate solution
1.) PCI Card ---- 1/4" TRS Female
2.) 1/4" TRS Male mono ---- 3.5mm female
3.) 3.5mm male mono ---- RCA female
4.) 2 X RCA female ---- 3.5mm female
5.) 3.5mm male ---- PC Speakers

Would this one work as well?

Or would anyone like to shed some lights on me with the S/PDIF solutions?

Thanks.

you dont need to use 1/4" TRS plugs since your PC speakers are not balanced
 
Oh...
What does TRS stand for?

Doesn't that mean I would need another 3.5mm Female / 3.5mm Female adapter to plug in my 3.5mm Male from speaker
 
Ah, thanks guys, I'll look that up...

Is this the same as what altitude 909 mentioned?
