Hello,
Ok I'm familiar with PCs and Networks but have no idea about home theatre systems etc. I do not even know what an amplifier is.
I have created a HTPC that is trucking along nicely. I've 5.1 pc speakers which are just fine for my purpose. But I would like to put an extra set of speakers (actually 2 extra sets) to our deck and another room. I don't want/ need it to keep playing in the original room, nor do I need to control the music from those locations as I just want to set up some playlists and then not think about it again. I can't use wireless as this house is not friendly to wireless.
Can I attach some sort of switching device to the PC and plug the speakers into that then just choose the room that receives the audio? I don't mind spending money on a decent solution, however would like to remain with the HTPC style solution that is CD free.
Thank you so much in advance for any advice.
