Dear members, ladies, gentlemen,

I was wondering whether it is possible to play MP3 music files from my notebook (T60P) on my stereo. Anybody know how to go about??

If I connect my notebook to my amplifier, by connecting headphone exit to aux with a cable, I seem to get really lousy sound quality. Do I need addiotional equipment (soundcard or the like). I am not into superb quality, 'normal' should do it for me.

Advice is really appreciated, thanks,

Tom (computer dummy).

I do the same as you and the sound quality is excellent (well, to my ears)

The sounds is great for me if I plug in my pair of external computer speakers into my X31's headphone jack.

However, if you are connecting to your amplifier's aux input, you should really connect the line out to your amplifier rather than the headphone jack, as your amplifier will be expecting line-level input, not the amplified headphone output. Have you tried this?

My T60p sounds fine when it's plugged into my system's line in connector. I listen to the audio through real high quality studio monitors and things sound very decent. More than enough for casual listening.

It could be that you are overloading your stereo's aux input from the headphone jack -- that could cause severe distortion. You can easily experiment by turning down the volume on the T60 (and turning up the volume on the stereo) -- does that improve the sound?

Like said before: headphone volume. Further: have you muted all microphone/line-in inputs etc.? Does the noise appear too when connecting some other audio equipment (mp3-player, cd-player,...) using the aux?
