Hi I recently bought R501 edifier was wondering is it possible to connect the 5.1 surround sound to the tv or the surround sound only works for pc.
As I am only getting sound from the front speakers.
And i created a topic and gotten several advice from members in lowyat that both using different format analog for pc speakers and my tv is using optical..
Is it possible for me to get a device to allow my tv to get the surround sound? As i read online that i can get a device to do so.

QUOTE(power911 @ Feb 27 2012, 11:42 PM) and I thought I'd say something about... connecting optical>tv>tv analog out>r501 ? Yea I did read on your input however nismo 91 posted: QUOTE(nismo91 @ Feb 27 2012, 09:20 AM) you can't get 5.1 sound from your R501 using TV, PS3 or macbookpro. the R501 is designed to be a PC speaker, it uses 5.1 analog connection. while your TV, PS3 or macbook only supports digital 5.1 connection (optical spdif) so best bet is you can only get stereo sound from 3 devices simultaneously. So I thought that i was not able to get the back speakers working because of the wrong audio output. Was wondering if i could get something like this http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-D3-Digital-Conv...0190551-2536661 to fix the problem? |
