Right now I'm using some klipsch pc speakers with subwoofer directly into the phone jack of the anan 7000 but I want to route everything through my pc. Caan anyone help?

Works great and also makes the audio from the ANAN available for direct recording into whatever program you have on your computer. No need to rely on VAC to transport audio with this method. I did find with my latest computer that it was necessary to insert a 1:1 ground loop noise isolator audio transformer inline to stop slight background digital noise that was present at higher volume. That cured it and did not affect the quality of the audio to my ears.

I will figure a work around to do this. TyW1AEX wrote:I just run run an audio cable from the headphone output of the ANAN into the "line in" jack of my computer.

Why would you have audio from your pc speakers output ( usually stereo audio) going into the microphone input of your radio? I would be concerned about overloading the microphone input on the radio. The link that Scott gave you contains some really good information on proper routing and setup of the audio.
What microphone are you using with your radio? If it is a USB microphone plugged into your computer, the only connection you need to your radio is ethernet cable, either directly to your pc or your network. Short of network problems, the latency is extremely low.
Virtual Audio Cables using Windows MME or Direct Sound work quite well once properly setup.
