Okay, I seemed to fix my 35 foot run problem from my desktop across the room to the entertainment center. I removed the Ethernet/DVI adapters with a DVI/HDMI cable direct across the room at 18' and it worked. So, that said.....
I now have to decide how I want to hook-up my graphics from the computer to the stereo receiver (Pioneer VSX-52). I have the following questions:
1.) Regarding my motherboard, I have an HDMI out. I assume this HDMI out is 'bridge' between my graphics card and monitor and/or TV, correct? In otherwords, the graphics are still be produced by my graphics card (560 Ti), and not an on-board / motherboard graphics card?
2.) The receiver (Pioneer VSX-52), has enough HDMI inputs w/ pass through that I can hook my computer up to the Receiver and when I want to stream a movie on my computer to watch on my TV (Sony SXRD 60A2020). So, I am thinking about the following hook up:
a. For streaming through Computer onto my TV: From HDMI out (motherboard) to HDMI in (Receiver). (allow video and audio)
b. For audio only when playing my games on Computer: From Optical out (motherboard) to Optical in (Receiver). (audio only from Receiver)
c. For the Monitor (LCD): DVI out (graphics card) to DVI in (Monitor). (Internet Surfing, Playing Games, and using audio connect for sound under 'b')
Does this sound correct? I suppose I need to know if No. 1 - HDMI out from motherboard is using the graphics from my graphics card - 560 TI. I think the answer is 'yes', but wanted to get someone's thoughts.
System:
Windows 7
Graphics Card 560 Ti

Motherboard Gig GA-Z68XP-UD3
