Another question on audio for those who connect the box to TV via HDMI and to stereo amp via RCA.
Intend to use media player to play music thru external HD.
However i only hv music coming thru TV and not to the amp.
What do i hv to change for music to come thru amp only (ie zero.volume on TV)?

Thanks in advance!

It should work if u connect the red and white rca from box to amp.

This is stereo analogue, independent of the hdmi and spdif coaxial or toslink outputs.

Rca audio output volume is fixed, u control with your amp.

Alternative.... if yr amp has spdif input, use them, u get digital audio, better.

Old school amp...no spdif. ...😁. Might consider RPI + DAC with spdif for low cost solution.

Unplugged and redid again! The music is coming thru the amp! Thks

However the tv has to be on n the music will play from tv as well (btw sharp 6800 thks to yr recommendation).

Hv to mute tv coz if lower volume then overall volume reduced. Nd tv on for song selection purposes.

The good news is i believe the sound quality thru Q10 to amp is much better than playing from laptop to amp! Any idea if thr Q10 had a build in DAC?

Many thks again for guidance!

tv has to be on... maybe not.

next time u try, play Q10pro, turn off tv, give it a few seconds.

the audio should return as it is still playing, audio out from rca.

unless the tv CEC is messing with it - which u can try changing the settings in the TV.


You are right bro! Turn off on tv n the.volume can be controlled by mouse or amp separately! Thks AVFan as always!

Going to dissappear into music nirvana and dream of getting a used q10P just for music....😁😁😁
