My current computer speaker’s receiver stopped working. Instead of buying a new receiver i was wondering if it is somehow possible to use a DVD home theater system (Sony HT-C800DP) as the receiver? Is there any special cords i need to connect it to my computer? My computer has no special outputs for the player.

If you just had regular computer speakers, then the connection is fairly easy. Get the 3.5mm to RCA adapter mentioned above, then connect the 3.5 mm end to where your current speakers are connected, and connect the RCA end to an open pair of inputs on your surround sound system, either the TV or Video Audio In jacks, taking care to connect the white connector to the left channel and the red connector to the right channel.
If you are already using both audio inputs, then you’ll need to buy an AV switch, which you should be able to pick up for about $20.
The link below is a PDF of your surround sound’s user manual.
