ok so iwant surround sound on all my entertainment that include:
HDTV
PS3
Computer
but also on the computer i have soume 5.1 headphones which i want to use aswell!!
is there any way off doing this
any help will be much appreciated
thanks
 
Well lets see, the easiest way is to get a 5.1, or 7.1, soundcard with digital out (coaxial or optical). Then buy a home theater system (receiver and speakers). This way, your HDTV, PS3 and computer are all hooked directly to your receiver. As for your headphones, i guess you can just hook them up through your soundcard.

its not a creative sound card, but it will work... buy this sound card, and then buy a home theater system with optical out... then connect up your PC to your home theater system via optical cable... hook up your HDTV via component and audio, or hdmi, and vice versa the ps3... what i mean is, either hook up your HDTV through HDMI, and your PS3 though component and audio through an hdmi to componet...
 
ok i need a good sound card because i like to do gaming, and am willin to spend around £100 max, and i want it to work well with my hp-1 barracuda razer headset! also if i do the above will i be able to connect my headset aswell as my thearte system to my computer! and if i do manage to get all of the components connected at the same time! could i switch the thearte system off while on my comp but still let it run through my tv? thanks lee

You will not be able to connect 5.1 channel headsets onto the home theater. And as for running the sound through the TV, I don't think it will work with the receiver off, as then there is no way of connecting the soundcard to the TV, unless you get one of those 3.5mm stereo jack to RCA connectors and directly hook the computer to the audio in of the TV.
 
ok thanks all, ive decided to scrap this idea and just get a good soundcard and use a headset for the computer and a home therte system for my tv, thanks ;)
