Home Theater Speakers and your PC

[BlinKid182]

I seriously dont get why your shitty videos are so high rated, that guy need a BETTER CAMERA ! coz i cant hear or see shit !

The receiver is "emulating" surround sound from the audio coming from the devices.

[TreyArc]

Just needed to use TOSLINK.

[TreyArc]

Come to think of it, Chris didn't answer the qn because he probably didn't know or was too lazy to dig more into the troubleshooting bit.

What the caller is saying is that he's got his own PC plugged into his receiver and speakers in a 5.1 setup via a 3.5mm to L/R RCA jack and he's not hearing 5.1 sound. Quite obvious, the answer actually is.

[TreyArc]

That caller is a retard.

[floridabowhunter]

wtf do u mean apple chose a better route lol. any pc motherboard worth crap will have a optical "toslink" and coaxial output. even my rampage 3 on board has a optical output. i have a question though will a higher quality sound card mean better optical sound or does it just send a straight signal out without dac? for example if you have on board optical and asus essence stx optical will they sound the same?

[sabbays]

from my desktop minijack, i have a minijack cable (male to male), which goes ino one side of my merkury ipod mixing board. from the rca's of the mixing board, it goes into two recievers (600 watts each) off those amps i have two 1200watt peak - 400watt rms subwoofers in one cab, and two 600watt peak - maybe 150rms loudspeakers. MY PROBLEM is that there is almost a clipping sound from the woofers (like they were blown) not even close to full power. i have run several tests, problem=pc input??????

[miggtt699]

NO I HAVE THAT CABLE AND I PLAY 5.1 GAMES IN

[PUN117]

To geek's this is sex hahahaahahaaa and chris just talk about he's relation ship with his mac yeah right umJum you dont say> the other guy is lost XD

[Qnopss]

[dbw16d]

i can get 5.1 of a single adio jack on ps3

[ThePaulg123]

@dbw16d

yes but it wont be true 5.1 digital sound unless you are using a optical cable

[sneskid]

@ThePaulg123

Not necessarily. It could be digital though coax.

But yes in this video, he's definitely correct. The caller is just using normal stereo output.

[silentk1987]

oh no appletard is asked an actual non twitter question and doesn't know what to tell the caller

[highertoke420]

I have the Xbox360 HTS and i have 5.1 and everything in my Xbox game experience but I want to cnnect that HTS into my PC but my pc only has that classic headphone entrance,, does it exists a digital cable that is digital entrance from one side and that normal in another or I need to change the sound card.

Just help me in this one I need to know.

[drew118183]

U need to get a sound card that has an optical cable input.... Or a new mobo that comes with one on board.

[solorio7]

Thanks..

[2k4camthrilla]

That caller still doesnt have a clue...

[Imprezaman555]

its not just the way apple is going, its the way every1 is going, that is if ur talkin bout an optical connection which im pretty much sure you are.

[cesarsony124]

i have a home theatre system its a sony dav-hdx265 and i've connected to my pc and its old its a windows xp home edition with a ac'97 sound card built in to the mother board.all i had to do is ihave to click on the speaker at my taskbar near my clock go to audio properties then go to advance and switch to 5.1 suroound sound speakers.thats all you need to do well doesnt work all the time this might be helpfull to others too

[RomicaEvil]

this is GAY

[coolkidcoolkid1234]

your supposed to take the the surround sound setting off and the the full two channels should send to the reciever but then the reciever will then decode it to 5.1 and it then should work

[basstom1990]

wow.... its amazing how stupid people are, even though they claim to know sooooo much.

[khk235]

The Xbox 360 most likely outputs Dolby Pro Logic, which the receiver can use to sort of "make" a rear channel.

[peckishere]

it also has an optical output like some sound cards so you can get full / discrete 5.1

[akshayrulzes]

bllody fuck who duh hell is chris

he dont know nofin hes a watser!!!!!

[Win98Error]

when you guy's call in,make sure you know how to ask a tech question. so chris can understand it.lol.

[helimeef]

The guy on the other line is an idiot...

[tony609]

do somebody knowsa how t connect my pc to my hometheather??? what cables do i need??

[widerangledotcom]

oh god. advertising apple again.

um... chris, hate to tell you this. go and buy any motherboard or any sound card for PC and, they'll have coax and toslink.

and, you didnt say, that outputting it via toslink doesnt decode the signal, thats why analog 3.5mm connectors are better often.

the A/V reciever is upmixing it to surround sound.

and chris! how he is connecting the 360 to the reciever is the same as how he is connecting the PC to the reciever!!!

[Elswalbe]

Poor guy. Chris just doesn't know how to explain it!

It has to be digital or 6 channel sound.

[VeNeM999]

wow, some ppl just dont know how to listen..

[christheferal]

haha, Chris was right but at the end it sounded like he didn't get it or he was upset

[gtochad]

i beleave they where having trouble communicating i could tell the whole time that the caller didnt understand or knew that wasnt the problem but didnt say anything

either way an audio forum would be better

[MonickerL]

Did you hear the shame when Chris responded with silence? rofl.

[TenaciousJ728]

Apple is going the right way with Mac Pro hardware.

Really helpful Chris!

[ZinayH]

yeah that was what I was thinking 2!!!

[and1strtblln]

wow, this is helpful
