Audio Question HELP! Will it work or do i need different cables?

I just bought this unit, so I can understand the question. It is really quite simple. There are three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output on the Onkyo HT-S5100 (also tons of other RCA, etc. inputs, no problem there!). The HDMI output feeds into the TV, of course. But I found I needed to connect a cable or an optical cable to the back of the TV in order to feed the audio back into the Onkyo amplifier. Now EVERYTHING sounds great!

Yes, this will work. It essentially becomes your new sound card. That said the sound quality out of this device isn't impressive but it's functional.

The onboard sound will work with that headset yes, but in almost every situation I'd recommend using a third party PCI-E card for sound if quality is your concern.

Paul is correct. You need 2 seperate moduls to make this work. Not including the reciever. Distribution module and line input (composite audio).

If your headset has a plug for the mic and another plug for audio you will plug them both into this device and it should work fine. This does not us your built in sound card. It is a second sound card when you plug it into the USB port on your computer.

Yes, it will work, but you will need to configure the audio output to PCM first. The output is stereo.

There is an audio output, so as long as you have the right cables and software, yes.

If you want to hear and chat yes. Just buy the 2.5mm to RCA converter. YouTube what all you'll need I had to buy a sound card RCA converter and the cables.

Sound comes through any HDMI cable. You don't need a separate cable for audio.The answer is yes.

Yes, I would think so. Have you tried reversing the cables in the ports to see if the other unit gets sound? Also, try switching the cables on each unit. Could be a bad cable or port.

You probably want a mixer. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aelectronics%2Ck%3Aaudio+mixer&keywords;=audio+mixer&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1429283504

You would need a splitter cable. PCs have two separate jacks (audio in & out.). P.S., the sound quality on this device was poor.

Hello,I am not sure as to wether or not that particular connection will work, the size of the male end of the cable is the same as any standard A/V cable (red & white) so if that size fits in your audio out its a cheap option to try out. It was intended to deliver audio and I'm sure it will be able to meet your power requirements. Mine is running from a blu ray to an older 5.1 surround system with excellent results. Hope that helps a little, sorry I didn't have a better answer.

Unfortunately this will not work. The audio signal is digital and needs to be converted to analog in order to do what you want. This usually takes a box that will need to be plugged into an outlet.

You need a 3.5mm Audio-out Jack. Digital audio output is totally different and will NOT work.

Yes, this will work. It will show up in your Sound control panel as an output. Select that and plug in your headphones or speakers and you should be all set.

I would buy longer higher quality cable and check with Best Buy or Fry's about what speakers might be compatible. You also may need a more expensive system.
