How to connect laptop to home stereo to play music?

You don't need any software, just get an RCA lead that that has a headphone plug at one end and plugs that will go into your stereo at the other.  It should then simply plug into your headphone socket.   Just go to any computer shop and ask, it should cost about £5 ($10).  If you want to set up additional sets of speakers you should be able to do it from your stereo.  Hope that helps.

you would need to share the folder you have in your music in and also pipe the sound from that computer to your input on your sound system, better system would use terminal server a rdp into your main computer and access the app and music and sound from the main computer.

Step 1: Checking volume and mute settings:\nThe volume setting for one or more sound devices might be disabled or set too low. Use the following steps to adjust volumes to their correct levels:\n\nIn Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel \nIn Windows XP, open Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Sound and Audio Devices.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, open Sounds and Multimedia, and then click the Audio tab. \nIn Windows XP, click the Advanced button under Device Volume.\nIn Windows 98 and Me, click the Volume button under Sound Playback. \nRemove all checkmarks from Mute boxes at the bottom of the Master Volume window and adjust the volume setting slide bars to their highest positions. Close the Master Volume window and test for sound. If there is still no sound, go to the next Step. \n\nStep 2: Verifying the connections:\n\nUse the following steps to verify that the sound cables are properly connected from the speaker to the computer (cable connectors and plug assignments are normally color-coded to aid with connections).\n\nUnplug the sound cable. \nPlug headphones or one speaker directly into the speaker out connector on the back of the computer. The speaker out connector may have a symbol of a speaker \nor a circle with an arrow pointing out, or it may just say "OUT" next to it. Test for sound using the computer. If sound does not work, go to "Step 3: \n\nIf sound is restored when the headphones or one speaker is plugged in, replace the original sound cable with a new sound cable and test for sound. Sound should be restored after replacing the sound cable. If sound does not come back after replacing the cable, the sound card needs to be replaced because the speaker out connector is bad.\n\nStep 3: Configuring on-board sound in the BIOS:\n\nSome computers come with sound on the motherboard (on-board), and some computers use a sound card. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS has to be set according to your particular sound configuration. Perform the following steps to correctly configure the sound in the BIOS:\n\nLook at the back of your computer and use one of the following three items to determine the proper sound configuration and sound setting: \nIf the plugs for the speakers and microphones are located next to the parallel, serial, or USB ports, then the computer has on-board sound. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS should be Enabled. If the plugs for the speakers and microphone are located away from the other ports and sit in an area by themselves, the computer has a soundcard. The on-board sound setting (if there is one) in the BIOS should be Disabled. If the computer has sound plugs in both locations, a \nsoundcard has been added to the computer that already contains on-board sound. The on-board sound setting should be Disabled. To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and when the first screen appears, press the F1 key repeatedly until the BIOS Setup screen opens. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to select the Advanced tab. Press the DOWN ARROW key to select Onboard Audio Options and press ENTER. If Onboard Audio Options is not available, select I/O Device Configuration and press ENTER. If Audio Codec is listed, select it and press ENTER. Select either Enabled or Disabled depending on your \nconfiguration and press ENTER. Press the F10 key and then press ENTER to save and exit Start Windows and check for sound. If there is still no sound, continue to the next Step.\n\nStep 4: Restoring the sound drivers\n\nUse the recovery process to restore individual drivers for a sound or combination sound-modem card. \n\nIf the computer came with recovery discs (Windows 98 and Me), place the last disc of the set into the top disc drive and follow the on-screen menus as they appear. Restart the computer after restoring the sound driver software and test for sound.\nIf there is still no sound, continue to th

The laptop it's self is not that important. Get any decent laptop. Then add a pcmcia sound card or an external one.\nI'd recommend checking out the reviews on http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1746178,00.asp\nhttp://reviews.cnet.com/Creative_USB_Sound_Blaster_Audigy_2_NX/4505-3022_7-30580579.html

It would be more useful if you listed the model of your laptop, or what kind of connections it has.\n\nMost laptops nowadays have S-video out, so that would be the easiest if you have that.  As for sound, you would just plug some speakers into your headphone jack.\n\nIf your laptop doesn't have S-video, you could always get something like this as well:\n\nhttp://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=GXP-2000-PB&cpc=SCH\n\nThat will take your VGA signal and convert it to RCA so you can hook it up to your TV.

Just connect the Stereo Ear Phone pin to Speaker or line out jack of ur sound card in CPU.\nMake sure that the audio cables are perfect and will not spoil your sound card :)

Install the drivers from the CD you got with the MP3 player. The CD also must be having an application that is to be used to transfer songs from the laptop to the player.

You won't be able to use surround sound speakers, unless you have a surround sound sound card.  Luckily for you, they actually make one for laptops: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102174

There should be an input in the subwoofer that goes to your computer. The input cord to the computer usually has a green plug. Then you hook up another cord from the subwoofer to a speaker.

I'm not sure how you would go about getting an additional subwoofer on top of a regular, two piece stereo system.... but to connect your stereo to the computer, just go to Radio Shack, and tell them what you are trying to do. There are wires and adapters that shouldn't run you more than five bucks. Then you can plug your stereo into your computer.
