i have this question in mine for past 1 week and wanted to open a new thread for this HTPC but i wonder how it works.

if u dont mind i just ask 1 simple question, maybe my question will help u out abit too~

let say i plan to get Samsung HT-XQ100 Hifi and want to pair with my Creative Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA ( i used to connect with my logitech Z680) is it possible for interconnection?

I had went to SenQ and others electrical shop to check this Samsung Hi-Fi but i can find any cables that able to plug into my sound card...

Any suggestion brother's?

Thanks alot

yeah i saw creative have those 3.5mm jack to RCA wonder can i get it from lowyat or i have to pre order from creative..

another things is...

using 3.5mm -> RCA to connect Hi-fi is better in terms of sound

OR

just get the computer speaker eg Logitech Z5500 with build in decoder?

Which provide better functionality or sound quality>?

Thanks

hie guys,

Plan to get a Full-HD 32" lcd but what my main concerd whether ATi 4670 512MB able to deliver nice pixels via the lcd?

hi guys anyone can help me on these? the sound deliver to LCD?
im having hiss sound under HDMI connection....

Did i miss out something?

Thanks

Done, by googling for a few hours ....
my 9800 GTX+ DK comes with SPDIF cable where i have no idea what is that...so

manage to get a rough idea how to start from scratch...

Connect my SPDIF cable from onboard motherboard --> VGA...from there set the Bios (default- SPDIF) to HDMI...walla sound it there...deliver through DVI ---> HDMI port.

"BUT" another strange thing is:

1) When using DVI --> Analog. My LCD shows crisp and define Text form the words.

2) When using DVI --> HDMI. The words not as defined as using Analog input. The text looks kind of wired. I mean not as define as it used to be.

I really hope u guys understand what i mean.

Anyone overcome this problem?

Thanks

yup im using Full-HD 32"
But how do i know i have this settings?

Anyway i will go through the manual for the settings and let u guys know what is the outcome.

Thanks

p/s" found some nVidia issue but i dono is the LCD fault or the nVidia problem?

Where i still have problems with text distortion/display dirtorted under HDMI input from CPU

Tried using DVI ---adapter --> RGB tested with excelent PQ with no text distorted
Tried using DVI ---adapter--> HDMI tested with test distorted but movies okie

3RCA did not test coz the cable provided in the box is not long enough.

tweek the refresh rate/ resolution settings to lower size looks ugly with big icons/ downloaded latest driver no luck too

Need some feedback so i could enjoy the benefits of using 1080p via HDMI cable.

Thanks alot.

Hi alifbata_abc,

Thanks for helping, well...my LCD is set to "Just Scan" all the time but i cant seem to find "Noise Reduction" (LCD?) under Advanced control.

If im not mistaken there's a "Noise Reduction" under the LCD function but is "Grayed Out" (cannot choose)
