SPD/IF
« on: 07 January 2008, 13:29:33 »
My PC MCE has digital out, both optical and coax.  The VGA card has HDMI, and a SPD/IF in. My surround amp has both coax and optical SPD/IF inputs.

What I need to do is connect SPD/IF to the VGA SPD/IF in (to send audio up HDMI cable, along with video) and simultaneously send SPD/IF to the surround amp.

Can I simply use optical to amp, and solder the wires from vga card to coax connector on motherboard?

Not sure if I'm pleased or saddened by lack of (proper) responses:

Pleased, as it appears I'm not as stupid as I thought,

Saddened, the fact that it appears I know as much as anyone here about it makes me chief geek :(

Just do not use TV sound?

Looks like HDMI audio is not the same as SPD/IF

Some progs, can't be arsed to get up to turn on sub for surround system (being another ill concieved piece of sony junk, it doesn't come on with amp remote), so need to have sound going to TV.

The vga takes spd/if, and sends it up the hdmi...

Unless there is a selection of optical / coaxial output I would assume they're both active together so you should be able to do as you say. Why the solder? Is there not a cable to connect the two?

vga needs a connection from inside case - only connector will disconnect optical as well, hence solder on the socket...

Gotcha. It's a combined optical/digital output with the optical output in the centre hole of the phono?

I'd try it :y
