Connecting computer speakers to TV

nrgcreator · Jun 3, 2015

Hi friends, im having some issues and hoping someone out here can help out!

I have my old computer speakers connected to a cheap TV in my workout room. I have always used a roku box connected to tv and then the tv going into a fiio D03k to computer speakers for volume.

My roku died so i moved my wii to this room and connected to TV and lost sound. Im guessing it has something to do with the component being connected with rca cables instead of the hdmi like the roku.

Can anyone guide me through how to get my computer speakers to revert to working when the tv is on using the wii to connect to netflix / pandora etc?

Here is my set up:
coby TV TFDV03295 - https

Altec lansing computer speakers MX6021 - http

The cheapest way to go is with two adapters (or one, if you can find it):
- RCA plugs to headphone jack
- RCA Gender changer
Plug the red-and-white cables from Wii into the gender changer, another cable into the gender changer, finally plug your speakers into the cable.

Another option is to research whether there is Wii cable which outputs HDMI.

Thanks for the reply! Here is some additional information that has been discovered since posting this. I am currently looking info the hdmi converter as they do offer them for a wii.

so i just connected using 1/8'' stereo plug from tv directly to speaker and no sound. I checked to ensure it was not the cable. Input on speakers is 1/8'' (has 2 - one on sub which is used for main connection and one on volume remote for aux) and tv has 1/8'' output.

if i turn the TV off, the sound comes through the computer speakers from the wii. turn the tv back on and the sound reverts to tv speakers?

The TV only has a digital coaxial audio out and a 1/8'' (3.5mm) audio out. When the wii is on (streaming netflix or playing game) sound comes out of tv speakers only, does not work on computer speakers. If the wii is left on and tv turned off the sound then gets sent to computer speakers. wtf? Is my TV broken or am i missing something?

This is some quirk with your TV - is "passes thru" the sound from AudioIn (where your Wii is connected) to speakers only when it is OFF. Unless there is some setting in the TV about that, you can't do much more.
