Yes, that is exactly how I connected mine to my computer. I use the 3.5mm jack splitter cable that was included with my previous BeoLab 4 PC set. I'm sure Steve at SoundsHeavenly produces such cables too. It takes a 3.5 jack stereo signal and outputs the channels separately.

They need a second (or two) to sense a signal, not always ideal, but no dealbreaker.

Beolit 12 - Beolab 4 pc (dead now) - Beoplay H5 - Beolab 9 - BeoRemote One BT - Beoplay M3

These are completely silent when powered down. When they wake up, there is also a kind of white noise noticeable if you put your ears close.

This noise is also there when connected via bluetooth/airplay and when the volume is turned down completely. However, if you pause the content while playing through bluetooth/airplay, they go completely silent too. The M3 then knows it's not supposed to play anything.

When connected through line-in, it has no idea about when you are or are not playing stuff. So as soon as they sense anything, they power up and when you stop playing the noise remains until they go back to sleep a couple of minutes later.
