Guys,
my current setup is a raspberry pi with openelec connected to my samsung tv via HDMI cable.
I would like to enjoy some 5.1 sound so I was thinking of buying a home theatre
unfortunately I found out that my TV cannot output 5.1 (it can do that only for the internal receiver/decoder...)
I assume that the only way to bypass this problem is to send the two signals separately, video to the TV and audio to the home theatre.
I searched the internet for some cable that could take the video signal to the TV set and the audio signal to the home theatre, but I could find only hdmi splitter/converters which generally have several inputs/outputs.
I understand that the splitters/converters could work, but I was wondering, since I have no need for multiple hdmi inputs, if there is anything simpler available on the market.
sorry for the noob question, I am not even sure this is the right place where to post, I just hope that there is someone else with a similar setup and some possible ideas...
Thanks a lot
