QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Jan 17 2017, 02:50 PM) 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  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…

QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 17 2017, 02:53 PM) The red-white cable will work.  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.  Never mind, it is hard to visualize now as I don't have the stuff with me now. Will try tonight.

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.

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btw…dual audio output mentioned above already outdated.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  old generation prefer avr/amp new generation prefer sound bar i think newer a bit should favor omni direction wireless sound tower.

Keeping everything as much as possible in the digital domain helps as you have found. Fruitie lor...on second thought...she'll be fine... This post has been edited by dwRK: Jan 17 2017, 05:36 PM

QUOTE(WaCKy-Angel @ Jan 17 2017, 10:06 AM) Amp does not have hdmi 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.

What talk you? I'm new generation and will take a decent AVR + speakers setup any day.. Despise soundbars. .. So you saying I'm old? This post has been edited by voncrane: Jan 17 2017, 05:26 PM

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...
