Title: Connecting Echo Dot to Computer Speakers

Is there a way to connect my Dot to my computer speakers, while still using the speakers for the computer?  I sometimes like to play music from Dot instead of my computer.  My computer speakers are much better than Dot's.

if your computer has bluetooth you can.  if you have an audio in port available you can if you run a wire..

I've tried running a wire from the Amazon output to my computer's input, but that doesn't seem to work.  My computer does not have Bluetooth.

Any other suggestions?  Is there anything I have to do to the Dot?
