Audio cable help

2008-08-31 Thread Cole Tuininga

Hey all - 

While I was sitting around this weekend, I was starting to look into
finally playing around a bit with setting up my MythTV box.  I have a
box all put together ... now I just have to figure out what I'm
doing.  :)

I need to get two cables before I get going in earnest - a DVI to HDMI
cable (already have one on order), and then I need to figure out how to
run the audio.

I have an ok (I think) audio card - it's a SB Audigy SE.  I've got a
pretty decent stereo (Yamaha RX-V1700
http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=451764 which
I got new, for $500 off list price ... yum).  The real question is ...
how to hook the two of them together?  :)

I'm a bit of a neophyte wrt audio connectivity, so I'm kinda not sure
what I'm doing here.  I'm assuming that I should be trying to run from
the digital audio out on the sound card, to one of the digital audio
inputs on the stereo, but which?  And do I need a special cable?

Thanks in advance for any/all input - hope folks are having a great
holiday weekend!

There's also imapsync
http://freshmeat.net/projects/imapsync/
but I dunno how well it plays with Exchange.

Most SB cards have a mini digital coax output, so you need either a
cable w/that type of connector on the end, or an adapter. Basically, a
mono to single rca adapter and a standard rca-rca cable will do the job
just fine -- should be an orange rca input somewhere on the amp that is
digital coax. I used just such a setup until my frontend transmogrified
into a Mac Mini (which has mini-toslink optical digital audio out as its
digital audio output option).
