i was wondering if there was a way in which i can hook a PC to an external amp. I have a Realtek ALC 880 AC97 onboard sound card that splits the audio into 7.1 8 channel config. Of course my amplifier which is around 10 years old doesnt have seperate channel input cause its all processed through the amp.
Now i think that the amp is capible of 4.1 surround (it was bought/made when LDs were popular, and when dolby 5.1 haddnt really reached full acceptence). on the input side the amp only has the red/white composite in. which means that i'm using a composite to 3.5 mm jack. which leaves me with either 2 channel, cause its split onboard, or simulated surround...which never sounds right.
btw i dont think that this amp even has SP/DIF input.
thanks to anyone who replies.
