How to Connect My Laptop to an Auxiliary Jack for Audio
You've got all your music stored on your laptop computer, so there's no reason to waste time and money burning a pile of CDs when you can just play the audio over your home stereo system. You can run a cable between the headphone jack on your laptop and the auxiliary jack on a stereo or other speaker system to export the audio from your computer to an external device. The connection will only take a few seconds to hook up and does not require any additional software.
