Hope I'm in the correct group. I want to connect my Advent 300 receiver
to my computer sound card to use my Klipsch speakers. Can this be
accomplished using a Y-Adapter Audion Cable plugged into the line-in on
my sound card? I'm using a Audigy2 ZS card. Not sure if and how to do
this if it can at all. Any help appreciated!!

So, all of these responses probably cleared everything up, right?  ;-)

Anyway, based on Dave Houston's research showing that the tape-out works as I suspected, you can tie your PC in with your receiver "completely" with two "Y" cables. Both would have a mini 3-conductor plug on one leg and two rca plugs on the other.

Plug one of the mini 3-conductor plugs into the line-out on your audigy card and the corresponding rca plugs into the tape-in jacks on your receiver. Using this, you'll be able to record stuff coming from your receiver on your PC or use your PC speakers to listen to your receiver.

Use the other Y cable to connect the line-in on your audigy card to the tape-out jacks on your receiver. This will allow you to play content from your PC (MP3's, Internet radio, etc.) on your receiver.

I hope this summarizes/simplifies all of the other messages for you.

Good Luck!
