I'm going to flat out say I'm a programmer with a soldering iron. So, if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about; take this into account.

I was browsing stores for an RCA to Aux converter. However, they are all charging 20-30$. My question, does the red and white audio connectors pass things digitally. So, could I just solder Aux wire to Red/White wire?

Thank you, Nate

    You're going to the wrong stores. A RCA-to-3.5mm stereo jack cable shouldn't set you back more than $15, and even that is pessimistic. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 29 '13 at 22:59
  • What kind of connector do you need for the Aux end? What are you planning to connect with this converter (where do the RCA plugs go and where does the Aux connector go)? – Joe Hass Dec 29 '13 at 23:13
  • I just want to use it for audio. plug from my computer audio out to my sound amp. – NateAGeek Dec 29 '13 at 23:17
  • Red and white colors are normally for right and left channel audio (analog). Is there any info about the sound card RCA plugs, are you sure they are outputs? Do they look like the female plugs in [this image](http://www.digotv.eu/content/uploads/RCA_vads.jpg) – alexan_e Dec 29 '13 at 23:29
  • I want to thank you all for your support and interest. I've found a video tutorial. thanks again. – NateAGeek Dec 29 '13 at 23:44
  • You might also look on ebay; you can find things like this cheaper there. – Eric Gunnerson Dec 30 '13 at 00:15
  • Heck, you can find it cheaper on Sparkfun. And they're not known for cheap. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 30 '13 at 00:18
