Will my Audio degrade if I use these? Home Theater question?

[AB]

My RCA audio cables are short so i used some extensions to reach my Line In on my computer sound board. I am not sure, but will there a difference in quality between these methods?:

Method #1

Method #2

Will there be any difference in quality? Will one method make the sound quality sound better than the other?

during college I did the same thing, for some reason I was getting ground noise a lot so I used your 2nd method after trying the first one out and it worked a lot better. I still got a hum but if sound was on it was good. I also had a 7.1 surround creative setup, but I used belkin cords almost exactly like that and I still use them today in my theater setup for my ipod. I think you cant go wrong with your second method.
