Ideas on how to use speakers on TV as part of my racing setup...., hey guys I'm finishing up my new racer. Quick question I'm running a sound blaster audigy 2 from my computer to a set of logitech 5.1 speakers, I have mounted on the wall a 27" lcd for the monitor, with a dvi to hdmi hookup for video... Are there any plugs on the audigy where I could run a extra sound to my TV speakers also... the more speakers the better on a racing setup...maybe a y splitter from the main sound output...just looking for some ideas

parrallel in some car audio line level converters from your 5.1 front left and right channels
output from the converters into the component audio ins on the Television. Wallah more speakers, keep the 5.1, no modifications, won't overdrive the television component inputs. and the box is the size of a usb hub or caller id box

Little side-track, here, on the video end since it was mentioned:
DVI to HDMI: did you find it was a straight-away graphical representation, or did you need to use powerstrip or something? (I'm asking cos I tried this with an HD CRT, but thought the image wasn't sharp enough.)
