How do you add an HTPC to a home theater setup?
The soundcard would have 7.1 surround sound capability in the HTPC, but I'd already have a nice receiver that not only does 7.1 surround sound, but is more than capable of driving said speakers.
-I don't actually plan on getting more than 5.1 surround sound, but most eveything supports 7.1 surround sound.
[Edit: I've decided to get a book on Home Theaters. (Actually, probably the Home Theaters for Dummies.) Don't laugh, those Dummies books are actually pretty good for learning the basics of a topic. I don't plan on installing my home theater myself, but I need to be able to talk to the salesman like I know something about what I want, and be able to add stuff later to my setup.
-I plan on having the TV mounted on my wall and the surround sound speakers installed by a professional. I don't want to be paying extra to hook up the other components that I can easily do by myself.]
