Nobody? I cannot believe, in this day and age, that this cannot be done. Am I to understand that there is no way to have a device connected to an HDMI input pass through to an amplifier and go out to speakers throughout the house? I mean the end game here is to be able to listen to music from...

That's exactly it. There is no Zone 2 or Speaker B channel. That's why I think it's wrong. -Jim

I have a Yamaha RX-V571 Receiver and a Niles SI-275 amp. I have a typical HT setup (TV, 5.1) that works fine. The problem is I have 7 rooms with speakers in them that I want to listen to music in. This is the reason I bought the Niles. It is connected to a speaker switch and the AV-Out on the...

I have an Onkyo Receiver that changes to Dolby D and gives me surround sound when I am using my cable box and the channel outputs it. But when I have my HTPC selected (optical in 2) and I'm playing a downloaded movie in KMPlayer it will display "PLII Movie" and above it say "Digital" and...

Nobody?

Here is what I need to do and the restrictions. I was hoping somebody could help suggest the equipment to get as I have been away from this a while and really don't know what's out there. What I am looking for is something to drive my setup. I don't know if I need a receiver or a receiver/amp...

I agree and I have built quite a few. This is more of a matter of budget right now. I have the Best Buy "bucks" at my disposal but not the cash. Believe me, I would prefer, given the money, to build one in a nice HTPC case and use the components I pick. That being said, have you ever had any...

Thank you for your input. I think in retrospect I will stay away from the ASUS boxes. While they tend to make good components, these prebuilt systems have basically no support for drivers, etc. I am now leaning toward this gateway: http://tinyurl.com/39qq7du I little bit more...

I want a system to replace my old one. I have a budget of less then $500. I must buy at Best Buy as I have gift cards there. I will be hooking this up to a 50" LG LCD via VGA and optical to my (older) receiver. I want HDMI for when I upgrade the receiver. I want to be able to watch HULU on...

The HP system mentions would be a good choice. HP has a nice product and good build quality. You want 64 bit Windows 7 with as much memory as you can afford. 6Gb should be well within your budget. I doubt HDD space will be an issue, most are more then you will ever use. Clean all the stuff...

I'm setting up a PC with the primary purpose of housing my music librabry. Windows 7 and Windows Media Player. The PC I'm using has HDMI out and Optical out...
