    AVR for PC setup?

    For that price he could just buy a 5.1 PC speaker system. I have a Logitech Z-5500 on my 2D gaming rig that I've had for over a decade. :)

    AVR for PC setup?

    But then you'd be limited to 4K@60 Hz. Hmmm.... Now I'm beginning to feel your pain. :wacko:

    AVR for PC setup?

    Actually, disregard last. It looks like that splitter uses the Audio Return Channel from the television, which your monitor won't have. I just run my PC to my AVR, then connect the monitor to the AVR output. But doing so might lose your 144 Hz G-Sync capability since it will identify the...

    AVR for PC setup?

    Ah, okay. I'm with you now. I would assume that your display also has HDMI input, correct? Then perhaps this is your answer: Run HDMI out to this device, then connect your monitor to the HDMI out and the audio that is extracted over to the AVR. For < $25, it might be worth a shot...

    AVR for PC setup?

    Pure Direct is still the best method. Let the AVR do the decoding. I've had mixed results going digital to PCM, then out to the audio device. I'd get a SoundBlaster Pro (I still have a few laying around) and go optical before I ever went back to analog. That said, when I enable Dolby...

    AVR for PC setup?

    HDR is where things start to get sticky. Not only do you need to have the right AVR with 4K HDR input (or passthrough), you need the right cables (I've run into my share of cable issues), it requires a very specific set of hardware DRM (Digital Rights Management), and the only system I've ever...

    AVR for PC setup?

    I know I'm late to the party since I've been spending more time on Audiocircle building surround speakers and subs, but I've been using AVRs for surround processing with my Home Theater PCs for years. But I use HDMI to the AVR. My game room has a Marantz SR6012 (Upgraded from a Onkyo only...
