| Re: HT noob needs help changing setup.
The xbox has an optical output that will be connected to any avr, which I imagine that you have it connected to your pc via soundcard.
As for using your computer speakers for the avr it can be done if the speakers are not hooked into the subwoofer of the speaker setup you are currently using is being powered form the sub then you will need a speaker setup for the avr, now my suggestion would be is to get a home theater in a box like one of the Onkyos that have a pretty good setup for around $400-500 .
