RCA audio out is line level, so it has to go into device with an amp. There should be 
BT audio streamers that take RCA jacks or you can use RCA to 3.5MM adapter.

Re: [H] Good headset/mic?

[maccrawj]

Been using Motorola HT820 here for 2 months & like them alot. Caveat to BT seems to 
be either your in A2DP mode with HQ stereo OR you're in headset mode with mic & mono 
voice quality audio.


Haven't taken the time to read up on this, but assuming it's a BT limitation.

Re: [H] Not yet

[maccrawj]

I got that point, it's a given that all "devices with memory" are going to restrict 
how much of 4GB can be mapped & available as RAM. SO if you have 4GB total, 3.5GB 
usable; 3GB total, 3GB usable since there's 1GB of mapping left over for video ram.

Yes, it supports a 4GB map, but that wasn't my issue. I wrote that all 
devices with memory, including your video card(s) are deducted from the

That does look pretty good, but my desktop PC doesn't have Bluetooth.
Laptop does.  Will have to look into a hub but I like the headphones.

I need a new set of headphones for my PC and was wondering what the list
uses.  I game a lot with them on so as not to disturb the wife/baby so good
sound is a priority, but I also use Skype and the like a lot for work so I
would really like a set with a good microphone as well.  USB preferred, but
