I've been wanting to do this for a long while but never really knew what I was going to do.
My PC has built in sound, where I can switch the mic and line ports to be surround, sub woofer and center speaker... so I in effect have several discreet line outs..
I could get a game speaker system that has the different 1/8" jacks, but most of what I've seen is a little whimpy for a medium sized living room...
I'm thinking I will hold off getting a new fancy spdiff/optical thingy. Until I have a PC that has optical out...I'm not sure if I have spdiff with coaxial(rca), though...maybe...
anyway, I might grab a second hand system. but I'm not sure what to look for, using older tech...
And once I have the physical, what do I need to do to make sure my ac3/5.1 files play on all the speakers...?
And if I remember correctly, there was a config for having ffdshow take a stereo or 4.0 sound and average out audio for a center speaker...
