    Building a Home Theater PC: Why do I need a Soundcard?

    No one has mentioned it yet. If you like DTS music files..from DTS encoded CD's, your going to need a card that can use ASIO drivers to avoid getting upsampled. Typical of most sound cards to do upsampling to 48 kHz. Sucks big dognots to be sure. Creative is famous for this. Same...

    TechFlex

    Sure, you could bunch it all together, but since it's speaker cable, I'm not sure why you would want the hassle of pulling it all through tech flex.. For the 4 channel, I'd guess that you could get it all in around 7/8 diameter tech flex. To be on the safe side, maybe inch... For the wall...

    Digital Coaxial vs. RCA?

    No...there is no implication that it wouldn't work.....it's just that you and a couple of others LOVE to throw that in the argument all the time but I'd bet a bag of donuts you've never tried it and the reality is...you'd never use one.

    Making RCA cables from RG6.

    I've used them before. If your using a stranded center conductor, they don't work all that well. If it's solid, no problem. Just like you mentioned...you strip them to what the Parts Express info shows, (that stripper should work fine). Push them all the way onto the wire and crimp. That's...

    How do I play music stored on my computer over my home audio system?

    You don't have to keep the digital cord short....It can be quite long if you use a coax with decient shielding. Again, I used something I pulled out of the attic to test this and it's around 40 feet long. I've heard of others going as long as 100 feet. If you need some pointers on what...

    How do I play music stored on my computer over my home audio system?

    If you have a soundcard with a coax output and a setting to allow you to set it for digital out, all you need to do is to connect your puter to your home unit. I'm using some cheap coax with rca ends on it, that's about 40-50 feet long. The bad? You do have to route it if your puter and...

    Using Speaker output for audio to PC- how?

    Well your looking at two different things. Speaker output would fry your soundcard. You should be able to find all kinds of decks for under a hunderd bucks....used. I have a high end Yammy that I've few hours on and it's worth squawt anymore. Check out Ebay........Really...

    Using Speaker output for audio to PC- how?

    Dunno....Used cassette decks are a dime a dozen anymore. Have you thought about getting one off of ebay or out of a hock shop or something?

    Samsung DVD-HD841 $80

    I helped a friend set one up. My only beef is with the bass managment. There doesn't seem to really be any. Maybe it's preset at 120 hz or something and without a gain control...dunno.
