Hello,
I am getting an LCD flatscreen television which will have standard phono (RCA) outlets.
I currently have a PC, which has a Creative SB Wave Live! 5.1 sound system. The 5 surround speakers connect to the subwoofer and from the subwoofer, 3 mini jack cables connect to the sound card in the PC. I am guessing the amplifier is inside the PC, rather than the subwoofer.
I want to be able to connect both the TV and the PC to the PC's surround sound system. I do not want to have to switch the PC on in order for the TV to play to the surround speakers. Despite asking a number of TV dealers, Maplins, and searching the forums on here, I am at a loss how to do this.
Do I need to buy a specialized amplifier/switch, which can accept the TV's phono outputs and the 3 mini jacks outputs from the PC, which will then connect to the subwoofer?
If so, can you direct me in the right direction?
Many thanks,
Ross
