control computer with an ir not from com port

[Icthus]

What kind of receiver is it? I don't know how an IR receiver can hook into the line in on a sound card. What brand an model is it?

I don't know anything about Aims Lab (and can't find any info on the net - they seem to have gone under). However, if it was a connection on the back of one of their cards, I doubt if you'll find another way to hook it up. If you don't have and ISA slot on your motherboard, I guess you're probably out of luck.

If you still want to control your computer with a remote, I would suggest something like the IRMan (http://www.evation.com), which hooks up to a COM port.

Good luck

hi
the receiver it is an aims lab remote sensor and it came with an old video highway card (see tv on pc) the model is vtr525 and there was an input for the receiver which looks like the headphones. i have the card (but is isa not pci ) and i m not sure if it works on pci. i was wondering if i can use receiver in another way, another device so i can control the volume etc
thank you in advance
