    I havent done anything too complicated, or with high-end computer parts or stereo eqpt. I bought a vid card that has s-video out and I got a long headphone sized cord and an adapter from the small headphonejack to rca left and right. I had a monitor hooked up to the pc durring setup, to get everything working right, insuring I could read the text (I dont have an hdtv, the text is kinda fuzzy on my tv)
    I routed it through a multi-game system swithbox by Pelican. Now I press the right button, and I have video and sound on my tv and stereo. If I need to adgust anything in the computer, I typically use Remote Pc, as its easier than bringing in the monitor, or squinting.

      Also, I use a free program called Slimserver by slim devices to stream my mp3s to the livingroom. I can adjust the playlist from any webbrowser on my network. Pretty cool stuff.

        OK ...

        I have mine hooked up to my reciever, and the bass sucks! I was wondering if anyone had any luck with this item:
        us.creative.com/products/product.asp

        Or if there was a card I coule use. Right now I am using the sound on my KHT Neo motherboard.

        Also I have HDTV, but not the hookup so mine is fuzzy too... I will keep you posted on that one as I get more info.:)

        Thanks Ivan:)

          Does that board use SoundMax audio? I was having a similiar problem, and my mic wasnt working right. I uninstalled the soundmax drivers and downloaded the new ones from my motherboard manufactureres webpage. Works great now.

          I havent used that Creative item.
