That won't work unless his computer has an audio pass through/capture card. There won't be any place on his PC to plug in the PS3 audio input. Unless he wants to use a Y adapter and plug the RCA stereo inputs into the mic input jack (don't do this).

Plus it's kind of lame if he has to power up his PC just to play games on a console.

He's going to have to sacrifice the 5.1 audio; there really isn't any way around that without implementing a more expensive solution, which is something I'm getting the impression he does not want to do.

 

My onboard sound has a LINE in and a MIC  that is seperate.  It works for me.  Atleat all his speakers will produce sound instead of 2 of them

 

This would definately work. Using the blue "Line In" connection on the sound card (or motherboard if it's on board), just make sure you un-mute the "Line-In" option in the audio configuration. No surround, but all speakers should work just fine in stereo.

 

Excellent work, rckrz6. I didn't understand the first time you posted it, now I do. Isn't it funny how the obvious sometimes evades us?

LOL yea, i had to keep explaining myself... i had to scratch my head a few times.  I use this set up with the audio out on my TV cause it has crappy built in speakers.. Yea the downside is that your PC has to be on and mine isn;t so quite
