Connecting Ux1 to computer speakers

[DarkLight1482]

I just got my ux1 for christmas and I love using it with pod farm. I have a headset with a 1/8 jack so I bought one of those 1/8 to 1/4 adapters to plug into the microphone port on the ux1. I was not sure how to connect it to my computer speakers though. I have the 

logitech z623. This is a picture of the back of the subwoofer. http://media.bestofmicro.com/C/2/275186/original/Z623-sub-IO.jpg

 

The green 3.5mm input on the back of the subwoofer is currently connected to my computer. I tried plugging that into the ports on the ux1 but no luck. The right speaker of the z623 has another aux port so I tried connecting an aux cord to the microphone port of the ux1 and it seemed to work but not so great. I was able to play youtube through it and it sounded good but the guitar did not.

I really have no idea how all this stuff works. What would be the best way for me to connect my ux1 to the logitech z623 speakers?

I would get a pair of 1/4" to RCA audio cables. Connect the 1/4" to the UX1 outputs and the RCA to the Aux inputs on the rear of your Logitech. Any audio store will carry the cables. They look like this:

Or, get a cable like this and connect the 1/8" mini jack to your Logitech. Again use the 1/4" outputs from the UX1.

So if I get the 1/4 to RCA, would I connect the two 1/4 to the two analog outs?

Yes.

Just a note:

Microphone = input on the UX1;  you would never plug a speaker or headphones into a microphone input.  I've heard of some people using a speaker in fornt of a kick drum as an auxiliary mic, but that's the exception.

On the UX1 you want to use the analog out 1/4" jacks - left AND right, and run them to the left and right AUX RCA inputs on the subwoofer (use cables like these from HOSA:  https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CPR-202-Stereo-Interconnect-Cable/dp/B000068O17 .  Then connect the left and right satellite speakers to the subwoofer as normal (one is a D-sub, the other an RCA jack).

When i said microphone I guess i really meant the headphones port on the right side of the front of the UX1. Thanks for the input though, I ordered the exact cables you linked on amazon. Can't wait. Thanks guys.
