For my home theater system i'll be having a PC run everything, out to a projector for visual and audio going to a receiver + amp for audio.
I want to run all audio through the system, this includes pc (music and projector audio), ipod, maybe a mic and DJ devices later.
I can almost answer my own question and say I can run the pc and ipod fine just with the PC utilizing the line in on my soundcard, and a mixer would not be necessary. It would be easy though as I could always have things hooked up and adjust levels with the quick turn of a knob.
However, will my sound quality be sacrificed by going from PC -> mixer -> system instead of just pc -> system? I know this highly depends on the quality of the mixer and setup but I guess what I'm looking for is have any of you found a practical use for a mixer in your home theaters and what devices have utilized it?
Thanks
