    You probably have RCA connectors on your receiver, but 1/8" jacks on your computer. So, you'll want to buy a stereo 1/8" jack to RCA Y-Cable. Or buy a better sound card that has digital out.

    Some of the newer sound cards have either Coaxial or Fiber outputs. This way you can use all 6, 7, or 8 channels (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) sent to your receiver.

    Yellow is usually video, red and white is your left/right channels.

    What model is your yamaha receiver?
