This cable is cucuk at the android box which hole? the 'headphone' hole?
If cucuk that hole, HDMI to TV still works?
i said amp mah....didnt say avr also  sweat.gif

yes, headphone hole.

still works. just set in your tv box sound output as PCM.

unless your tv box firmware auto mute your hdmi if u plug into headphone jack, then can't help…

The red-white cable will work.

hmm.gif I just remembered something... My speaker (2.1 type), each speaker side already plugged to the sub-woofer, which is also red and white connector. hmm.gif
Never mind, it is hard to visualize now as I don't have the stuff with me now. Will try tonight. thumbup.gif

of course, using those 3.5mm to rca might have crosstalk issue if the cable quality is not that good, some more those built in analog output has rather poor snr and dynamic range.

me poor also…but poor guy also got the way suit poor guy plays.

i had a very very cheap avr (pioneer vsx-518) many years ago which is only cost me RM750 new, that have 1 optical ports and 2 coaxial ports which can turn all these cheapo dvd player, media player, pc, into a rather good audio source. In my opinion, hooking up those cheapo media player with 3.5mm cable or optical/coaxial cable make a significant difference.

Thanks to technology advancement, modern dac nowadays very good in integrating all the necessary circuit in a small chipset, in layman term: modern dac no longer necessary the need of expensive electronic components and bulky yet complicated circuit design to output decent sound quality. Just non audiophile ppl don't know the sound quality difference between both digital and analog connection, the poor 3.5mm to rca is notorious affected by the hissing noise, either from the poor audio circuit design or the poor cable quality.

she? who?

btw…dual audio output mentioned above already outdated.

now ppl use bluetooth receiver.

old folk must update current trends laugh.gif

old generation prefer avr/amp

new generation prefer sound bar

i think newer a bit should favor omni direction wireless sound tower.

agree...yes the dac needs less supporting parts...but the analog drive is as crucial as ever. Keeping everything as much as possible in the digital domain helps as you have found.

Amp does not have hdmi  sweat.gif
If direct from box optical out convert to RCA into amplifier, the HDMI still able to output sound to TV? Becoz only going to use Amp/speaker when karaoke only.

This depends on the firmware... Some can and others can't. if it does output sound to the TV and you don't want it.. Just mute or turn the volume down to zero on the TV.. Solved.

Remind me... What type of connection is that between the box and the PC speakers? Preferably, upload actual pictures.

Can try unplugged the wire from av jack from your PC sound card and plug into TV BOX...assuming PC sound card is what you're using, or from the headphones jack...

That's what I initially thought, until she mentioned having red & yellow connectors/ports behind the speakers.. Most PC speakers (if not all) have audio inputs as either headphone-type connectors or USB.. Perhaps both.

Nah.. No PC involved.. I believe it's just the android box, PC speakers and a PC monitor...

I was guessing her red/white...color coding for L/R speaker connector...

Anyway wait for her... No need to speculate more...
