NO PHONO ports lol

You will have phono on the spdif converter, you have to change spdif digital to analogue to use your surround sound

Why get a sound bar when using a better product.

[woody6222]

what are you?

 

[cactikid]

A big sound nerd who loves better sounds and dont like cheap.

Same with car Titanium speakers in front with added tweaters and 2 X 10" subs and 2 high end amps.
Cannot remember what rear speakers are fitted.

Expensive tv and cheap sounds dont work but 7 - 1 + amp blows you away.

Only soundbar i moved as not liking it was my yamaha ysp 900 + sub now in bedroom

Yes, spdif is optical, which is by nature digital, either on or off, you can't have a bit of light, lol, there is either light or there isn't.
That's why you need one of those converters to change it to analogue for your surround.

 

[cactikid]

Thinking it has to be used with an external audio card driver which converts audio to analogue and wondered anything better that might have a better sound.
I did remember having to change audio sound card to an Audio Sound Blaster.

Checking out other devices like this.
CSL - USB 7.1 external sound card 8-channel - 7.1 Channel USB Soundbox - Dynamic 3D Surround Sound - up to 8 speakers - simultaneous recording and playback - analog and digital audio equipment: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Trying to get my brain to connect also as speakers are already wired but just need those three cable to plug into.

Can you fit a sound card in the pc Creative SoundBlaster Audigy FX 5.1 Soundcard PCI-E OEM

what you suggests looks like what you need

 

[cactikid]

Creative Blaster Audigy Fx 5.1 PCIe Sound Card with SBX Pro Studio: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

That is what is fitted on old BIG desktop and no room in the tiny Mimix as its smaller than external usb cd drive.

 

[Scufferoo]

Get that box you said and connect the speakers to the front rear and sub jacks , sounds like you need to download some software and set it to a 5.1 system. Good find that box , let us know how it goes

Looking for something better that has dts thx sound quality

I dont think you will get anything like that unless you spend stupid amounts of money,
ie, 3 figures

 

[cactikid]

I might have to spend it to get a very good quality item as remembering how expensive the card was in the upgrading of quality sound .
Was looking at Creative products but no joy yet.

would you not be better getting a digital surround sound.?
after all, dolby dts is digital, you are always going to get beat up by changing it to analogue anyway

 

[cactikid]

No i dont think so as the double sub woofer is bigger than any of my desktop pc and wont find anything as good.

I have a digital Logitech downstairs on smartless tv lol.

I think analogue is better also, think, old valve amps,
so, why are so intent on changing digital to analogue.?
you simply end up with chopped digital, worst of both worlds,
get an analogue sound card.
