    Hi,

    I just got Klipsch iFi's iPod speaker system for christmas. This system can also be connected to a computer. The only problem is, i don't know how to do this.

    I have a 5100 Dell Inspiron and I, nor my Dad, can figure out how to connect my speakers to it. There doesn't seem to be a port for a cable. Any ideas?

    Thanks for your help. I appreciate it!

    You need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm that will connect to your headphone jack on the notebook (your audio out) and the audio in on the speaker docking port. Sometimes this cable is provided by the manufacturer.
