a/v receiver issue
fallacy:
You can just run everything to your TV. From your TV go from audio out to your reviver.

I don't have any hdmi going to the receiver, because it just isn't reliable. I have 2 hdmi switches. One actually splits out an optical audio output which is very convenient but doesn't work well with some devices. The other is simple hdmi switching so those devices have separate optical/coax audio running to the receiver.

Check your TV specs first to make sure it isn't limited to 2.0 or 2.1 output.

I think for now since it requires no money spent, I'm going to see if I can get an old sound card with optical out working on my htpc and run hdmi direct to tv. The other devices are pretty much working. I've got a Harmony remote, so just need to reprogram that and it should be fairly seamless.

I don't think you need the extra sound card. just run HDMI to your TV and have your audio go from your TV to your reciever. It's really easy. I had a PS3, HTPC, and cable all working this way. It all can just automatically play on the reciever you just select the input on the tv. No hasstle.

Thanks all. I thought all tv audio outs were just 2.x and my tv is fairly old in LCD years(I already had to solder a blown capacitor on it). The online manual for my tv doesn't say what it supports, so I'll try tonight. Would make it easier that way.

I tried this in the past and my TV down-mixed everything (except the cable box) to 2.0. If your TV is older, that may actually be a good thing as this is an HDCP copy protection thing.
