... So I want to somehow take the audio output from my PC and have it go into the audio input from my Sony speakers which accepts RCA cables. How do I go about doing this? Is it a matter of a simple cable, adapter and/or new sound card (I have a generic audio in/out/mic card)?

I'm pretty sure you just have to pick up one of these:

They sell them at radio shack, ask for something like headphone to rca adapter.

Skip the adapter and just get a stereo mini --> rca cable. Don't watse monies on any particular brand, any cheapy cable should be fine.

Edit: Turn the master volume on your card to 90% - max for optimal output.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Skimp on shielding for a cable around a PC with an analog signal and you WILL get noise put in. It doesn't have to be much, sure, but make sure you've got some level of thickness in that cable.

Discovered this fact first hand.
