You then go into your asus software and configure the mic jack to be a line-in. You plug the RCA end of the cable into your Satellite receiver (or dvd player or whatever), you then plug the 3.5mm end of the cable into the microphone jack of your 7.1 card, this does not require you to unplug any of your speakers.
CREATIVE INSPIRE P7800 SUBWOOFER PC
You stated that you don't want to buy an spdif switch and toggle between PC and Satellite receiver on your 7.1 system so your only option with your existing equipment is to use a RCA/3.5mm cable that has RCA on one end and 3.5mm on the other. Your RCA only has data A and B, that is all, thus it takes A and puts it on speakers 1,3 and 5, and takes B and puts that on speakers 2,4,6 (and most systems will put A and B on the center speaker). Thus at best you will get the same exact sound on all the Left speakers, and the same exact sound on all the Right speakers, hence a "fake" surround sound.Ī proper 7.1 source sends data A specifically for speaker 1, data B specifically for speaker 2, data C specifically for speaker 3, data D specifically for speaker 4, and so on and so on. RCA connection has 2 data sources, a left speaker and a right speaker, that is it, it does not provide any data for center, subwoofer, mid L, mid R, rear L or rear R speaker of your 7.1 system. When I say fake surround sound I mean from the dvd player, satellite receiver, etc. I understand that you have a 7.1 surround card, I understand you are getting real surround sound from your PC to the speakers, I understand you have 7.1 speakers plugged into 3.5 jacks on your sound card. You are not listening/understanding anything I am saying. The 3.5mm jacks on home theatre are connected to my computer so i dont want to disconnect any wires from 3.5mm jacks i he home theatre issue is the other device ok le me make it more simple how do i connect RCA audio from dvd player (rca jack) to get sound on my home theatre 7 spkr system. My pc is not an issue as i have 7.1 surround sound card. Then you can connect the RCA/AUX cable to the "mic" port on your asus sound card and get fake surround sound.īro my pc sound card gives me real suround. You can configure the MIC jack to be LINE IN jack. my pc is producing surround to spkrs but i want all spkrs to work from satellite receiver box My pc has spdif input and also my satellite receiver has spdif input ,when i say satellite receiver i mean receiver box used to watch dish tv. If you want actual surround sound you will either need a SPDIF switch box or you will need a better PC sound card that has an SPDIF optical INPUT (most have output but only few have input). If you just want "fake" surround sound (meaning L and R on multiple speakres) then just connect the RCA/AUX from receiver to the blue line-in on your PC sound card.
Yes, only two speakers are working because RCA is only supplying it with 2 speakers worth of data. Right now my satellite reciever is connected via RCA to 3.5mm to aux in port of subwoofer but only 2 spkrs (L AND R) out of 7 are working To watch satellite channels Surround sound is not important for me ,but i want all speakers to work (aux in stereo is ok). I want to connect my satellite receiver box (limesat receiver box) to this speaker system as well.
My pc is fine because i have 7.1 surround card. If the ports do not have electircal diodes or other short circuit protection the data from mp3 player one will go to the headphones and the output port of mp3 player 2 and could short it out.Ģ) Use spdif cables at your PC and at your dvd player and then connect them to a switch (possibly with a remote control) that then connects to the speakersģ) Get the right tool for the job, an actual living room type of home theater receiver system. It will not work in any way to pass the data through your PC sound card when the pc (and the sound card) are turned off.Īlso you can not Y cable your speakers because the dvd player does not have separate outputs for center, mid, surround, and subwoofer.Įven if it did Y cables are meant to output the same source to two different devices (1 mp3 player and 2 headphones), not the other way around (hear 1 of 2 mp3 players on the same headphones). You did not tell me you were going to switch the PC off. Hooking it up via the PC with software allows it to re-output that data A and B onto all 7 speakers. Hooking up to the hardware of your speakers will only output on the L and R speaker as you see.
