I think they are but I am not really sure. I was browsing through some boxes with car parts and just minutes ago found a VGA cable with a headphone jack looking attachment on the opposite end. I take it that would plug into one of these cables? Looking at the cables one is labeled in and the other out. Does anyone know what program I would need to use if they are for a laptop? Thanks guys sorry if my questions seem noobish I would really love to be able to get a laptop to tune with when I get alky.
