Help with connecting a pair of powered studio monitors to new PC. Monitors need either a unbalanced RCA or a stereo 1/4" jack input. Computer has Motherboard audio outputs. Do I need a sound card or just make a cable to interface?

You can convert the 3.5mm on the PC to 1/4": https://www.microcenter.com/product/456013/qvs-35mm-male-to-1-4-female-audio-stereo-adapter

Have one, using it for headphones off front panel 35mm. Nl Might work if I wired two RCA plugs (R & l) off a 1/4" male stereo keeping the negatives common for a balanced connection. I'll let you know if it works.

Maintaining audio quality is the main issue here. If that's adapting it isn't working for you an external DAC is probably the way to go.
