How can i play music into vent?

[lemunt]

I know other people can do it, but i'm not sure how to.
How do i set vent so it plays the music that i am playing on my computer? Becuase if i put the mic up to my speakers, it plays back through other peoples speakers in horrid quality, where as i was told if i manage to do this, it will be crystal clear.

Thanks

Btw, i'm not too good with PC's, so simple language would make it easier
