I am trying to get audio from my Home Theater system to a small amp to power my Bass Shakers on a couch. But I am not sure of what is the best solution?
I have HDMI eARC going between my LG OLED77CX to my new Denon S750H AVR. All of my audio output connections from the AVR are used for the speakers and subwoofers. Didn't think the idea of 'splitting' off of a speaker to get the audio. Would that degrade that speakers audio? Also tried splitting off the Subwoofer's preamp out, but that of course didn't work. Then I though of using an output from my LG TV. I plugged a 3.5mm jack into the Headphone output on the back of the TV with an RCA splitter to my little amp, and IT WORKED GREAT!!. Except that the speakers all muted when the headphone jack is used.
Then I wondered if the 'Satellite Speaker output' on one of my Subwoofers would work. But I think I still need to send the audio from the amp to the 'speaker input' to make them work. (because they didn't) By this point I am exposed as a major noob. ;-)
Then, yesterday, I wondered if I could extract the audio from the HDMI eARC connection. Do I need a HDMI Audio Extractor that says it handles eARC/ARC? Or do they all handle it? Or if they have a 'Pass Through' switch, will it just pass through whatever(eARC/ARC/5.1/5.2.4/etc...) comes from the TV & AVR with no problems.
Any suggestions to solve this problem are greatly appreciated!!
