male-to-male auxiliary audio cable? Ok, what i should have is a simple male to male , $10, audio cable. to go from the output audio jack in my PC, to the input audio jack in my monitor's speaker.

but i don't want to spend $10. can i use one of the 3 colored cables , like the ones that connect dvd player to TV, in place of it? isnt' one of those colors the exact same thing?
