after spending hours and hours, if not days, looking for the perfect system, I finally bought the parts, brought them all home, put it all together and
started plugging everything in! and then I was left holding a Optical cord with no place to plug it in. ARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!
I have one of those home theater samsung systems, I have a optical cord running from that receiver to the TV, so I watch dvds in full 5.1 surround.
now I have my HTPC here, sitting under the TV about to plug in, how do I get the full sound? will the HDMI from the PC to the TV be used for my surround sound through the samsung receiver?
or do I have to replace the mother board with one with optical out to get the speakers to work?
thanks..
