The simplest way I can think of is to simply get an 1/8" patch cable, plug it into your laptop earphone or line out and then to your receiver, depending on the inputs on your receiver you might need to go 1/8" to RCA or whatever it accepts. If your laptop has a digital out(S/PDIF or Optical), and the receiver has a digital in, that would be more optimal. Hopefully this helps some.
