I have a "digital audio" PowerMac 733 and am wanting to connect it to my stereo receiver. I was able to do this in the past with my beige G3 tower that had RCA audio-out ports. Is it possible to connect the 733 and a stereo? Or am I screwed because of that Apple Audio port? Or do I need to buy that Soundblaster sound card? Thanks for any help

Those poor spoiled Mac users who bought AV Macs. Do what ever other Mac user without an AV Mac has done and go down to Radioshack and buy a mini-stereo jack to 2 RCA jack connector/converter - some Mac users could even give you the part number.

That's what you got to do. You need a cable that has a 1/8th inch or headphone stereo male connector and at the other end it should have dual RCA connectors, one for left and one for right. Cables like this are very common, infact they come with most Discman's now. you might already have one.

Ok, I bought a stereo MINI-TO-RCA cable. It doesn't plug into my Apple Audio Sterio port. It does however plug into the headphones port. Is that what you meant? or is there a cord that I can buy that goes into the Apple Audio Sound Port? Thanks again

Yeah you've got to use the earphone port. That's part of the digital media hub technology that Apple is spearheading.
