I'd like to be able to pipe some audio from a computer in my basement to some speakers upstairs. When thinking about the best way to do this, I realized that my house is already wired with coax cable, which I'm not currently using since I don't get cable. Would it be possible to use the coax cable system to send audio around my house?
A few details:
- For the audio I'm sending, I wouldn't care if the audio signal were mono only
- The audio would come out of the computer using a 3.5 mm plug, and the speakers I'd be using to listen to the audio would also have a 3.5 mm plug.
I'd be able to buy plugs and wire to create the needed cables myself; I'm just not sure if this system would even work, though.
Best Answer
COAX to RCA adapter
You could get a "Y" adapter but it doesn't matter because you are getting mono. The Y would just split the mono in two.
For stereo it is doable but the only thing I know is S/PDIF - so search for a COAX to S/PDIF adapter.
Either way I wouldn't spend a lot of money on adapters. You are getting mediocre end product no matter what you spend. Go to the local radio shack and enjoy your music today.
