Thanks, let me try tonight with my PC monitor and speaker. sweat.gif
I don't think it will work. laugh.gif I still want my HDMI. This is too technical for me. laugh.gif

where got technical…

hdmi still connected between your tb box and monitor.

the analog cable is used to connect your tv box to your pc speaker, just the yellow connector tak de pakai since u already use hdmi for video.

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…

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btw…dual audio output mentioned above already outdated.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.

what input jack you have on your pc speaker?

QUOTE(voncrane @ Jan 17 2017, 05:25 PM)
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?  tongue.gif

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...
*
no la, the yellow connector is the cable 1.


QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 17 2017, 06:04 PM)
I was guessing her red/white...color coding for L/R speaker connector...

Anyway wait for her... No need to speculate more...
*
yea, that red/white behind her speaker should be the output jack for the speaker, not input.

nowadays speaker design need so foolproof meh until using that kind of connector…hahahaha.

Dimsum has nothing interesting... Deleted it right away... I got 60 days free when it was just launched...
I think most boxes support, even the basic HyppTV box also supports but make sure it is not rooted...
Got it. smile.gif

you can just find "rca to 3.5mm" in lazada.

should be below rm10 including shipping, if more than that, better get a dac, lots of item will pop out for the search.

I noticed for T95M the amount of RAM is only at 2GB, is it sufficient enough and in terms of specification the H96 pro+ is better right?
*
enough la...so many ram for what...tv box aint device for multitasking.

there is no future proof for this kind of gadget.

when newer software requires latest android api and your outdated box cant support, 128GB ram also no use.

Thanks for the clarification rclxms.gif , I'm new to this Android Tv Box thingy, still have plenty to learn from you guys, definitely going to checkout T95M, are there any other recommendation at maximum RM300 range? It's always nice to have more option to choose from  rclxms.gif

OK, tested the setup, it works. rclxms.gif
But once with bass, the hissing sound kicks in, so I switched it off. Everything is well now. rclxms.gif

analog signal is prone to all these interference.

i suspect those hissing sound is due to poor power circuit design of tv box.

anybody could try your tv box on sleep mode (connected with ext hdd), then put your ear near to the box and listen got hissing sound or not. (hissing not from speaker, but from the tv box)
