Yes I would be plugging the hdmi feed from the pc into a surround sound reciever. Using it as a media player.

I'm back again. So the 1050Ti will play 7.1 surround? Ok, so how about video. What would be a good one to support 4k? Is Asus better than MSI or Gigabyte or NVidia?

Yeah, bitcoin mining I forgot that was the first thing that drove up GPU prices - that made me angry at bit coin miners because they bought thousands of GPU's just for mining - what a waste - next past time for them will be using those GPU's to break passwords. One other question. There's only...

Hmm, I might go with the Asus GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, but wow prices aren't sub $200 anymore. $390 cdn for that budget considered card Wow! - at least it's a good one. I've been out of the system for a while.

The intention is to get 5.1 surround. My old stereo won't do that. That geforce looks like the way to go, just checked the amazon price, it's pretty steep!

Let's see, my old Sherwood RV4050R .. nope but the new Pioneer HTP-076 that I just picked up however, does have HDMI.

Yes you did, sorry my bad. In the end I'm on a GPU hunt. Dolby pro logic II can only get you so far. Just got myself a Pioneer HTP-076, now I just need the proper lines (looks like HDMI) to carry the right signals and I'll be good to go.

Display ports support multi channel audio and many advanced audio features, but your drivers have to be updated. Also 2 channels can carry encoded surround sound (I had to do some digging) as long as the equipment is available to decode it out - how else would VHS tapes carry surround sound...

So now begs the question how should I best set it up? (I basically have ancient equipment) the tv I have is 39" 720p or 1080i (yeah I know old - but it works) The inputs on my old surround system (no subwoofer) is only RCA ( I have a soundbar with HDMI - but it's only 2.1) I thought about...

I thought display ports didn't carry audio .. I was wrong. Is that what that port is? In that case I'll just go get myself an display port adapter asap!

Thanks, so yeah maybe I should be looking for a new video card instead. I hook up the video through the monitor super VGA out to the TV, but the only audio out is through the 2 channel stereo headphone jack. But something like the SoundblasterX G5 wouldn't work because it requires an optical...

Ok got it. I couldn't find any sound cards with HDMI outputs. Do I need a graphics card then with HDMI outs? Anyone recommend any internal audio or video cards for 5.1 or dolby atmos sound?

Hmm, ok, I've been out of this stuff for quite a while so I'm a bit behind the times and a noob at this stuff now. I thought the complete audio signal would pass through and all be included through the stereo jack, where only left and right channels would be heard unless it passes through a...

Basically I have an HP elite 8200 PC playing movies through the stereo headphone jack. Will I get surround sound if I hook the stereo sound jack into the Surround receiver to decode the signal? What I'm saying is, does all the sound information get passed through the stereo jack and then just...
