Nothing at all if that's what you have. In fact I'd suck start S/PDIF over RCA any day of the week.
The problems arise when you start throwing things into your signal chain. For instance, the d/a converters in the television are probably POS compared to the ones in a high end powered monitor set with digital inputs. They certainly are compared to the d/a converters in a high end digital power amp. Running your signal through the t.v. between the sound card and the sound system means your signal has to travel through the t.v's guts and maybe even go through some crap converters before it even gets to a pre-amp. The fewer stops between the source and the speaker the better.
But this is all tangential to the fact that Sirc is giving poor advice due to tunnel vission and arrogance. I simply wanted to guage how much he really knew. Now I know. The pro thing isn't even relevant to the technical problem in question.
The guy asking for help doesn't have the conponents Sirc is going on about. Sircs solution is a whole new card. Maybe the dude doesn;t want to work on his computer? Maybe he justs want to make the setup he has show pictures and make noise at the same time?
Sirc's not savy or creative enough to make what the guy has work as well as possible. Sirc almost **** a brick when the dude came up with a low tech answer. (Which btw is a scaled down version of what would be done in a refference or performance environment.)
I'm done here. I learned everythng I wanted to learn and these jokers can go back to stroking themselves.
That post was illustrating that pro audio equipment doesn't run on HDMI. Thank you for noticing and agreeing with me. If you can competently use one of those amps, then you can devise a way to get your signal in and out of one. If you have any serious questions you can PM me. I'm out.Last edited by Mr. Machette; 11/15/2012 10:08pm at .

This is where you are wrong.
The guys TV is unusual in the fact that it will allow RCA cables and HDMI at the same time. It is a wonky solution at best to run RCA cables out along with DIV.
Swapping a PCI-E card is not hard. Literally my 7 year old can do it, including updating the drivers. It is a 2 minute operation for someone that knows what they are doing and maybe a 15 minute one for the clueless. The card for the swap is very cheap.
A professional Home Theater guy saying to run analog RCA cables and a DVI to HDMI cable. Will the solution work yes. Will it be ideal? Hell no. Will things end up out of sync yep they sure will.
No see your being a dick just because you have a problem with Sirc.
The advise wasn't bad. -

It's pretty clear you have no idea what the **** you're talking about.
With his current setup he either HAS to get a sound card or he HAS to get a video card. In the long run, getting a video card is what he needs to do if he's having sound issues.
Everything else aside, you're bringing on **** that doesn't matter and doesn't pertain to the original question. I even answered your question about travelling at light speed.
But again, you're suggesting he get something to split his audio by getting a bunch of equipment he doesn't need, yet get all in a **** when I suggest he get a $20 video card from newegg.
Grow the **** up. You're wrong and you don't even know what the **** you're talking about. Pros don't stick to a specific platform. They engineer everything for the platform they're working on. -

If true, that's fucking hilarious.
Perhaps I'm wrong here, but I would have expected that he currently has a video card in his PCI-E slot, and thus a new, cheaper card would require him to remove it.
However, If he's presently using on-board graphics - I tend to agree that getting a cheap video card is a good option for him. -

Apparently Machette is so dense, my comments went so far over his audiophile ears that he felt the need to cry in a PM about how great his mixing is.
This is Bullshido....you've made a claim, time to post proof or GTFO*
