Hello,
I was using a conventional PC 5.1 speakers that used three 3.5 mm jacks to get 5.1 audio from the PC. I have never had any problems although they were the super cheap Logitech Z506.
Now I switched to expensive sound bar with surround speakers and stuff and the problems began.
After hours and hours I managed to make it work in the following setup:
My PC is hooked via HDMI to the TV blasting video and audio there.
My TV is connected to the speakers VIA optical cable.
This way some (AC3, AAC) movies work, not sure how well they work tho, but they work.
Is there a way to connect those speakers to the PC or somehow make the PC handle the sound processing so I can play anything 5.1?
My PC is very solid but my motherboard has no optical output.
The HT-RT3 has HDMI Out, Analog In, Optical In and Bluetooth.
Is there some external hardware that will help? Some converter or a soundcard with optical or something like that.
Thank You!!!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
