[QUOTE="nzdreamer55, post: 1048410, member: 106790"] Hello everyone, I am interested in getting a AV receiver to drive my sound from my HTPC to my speakers, however I really don't want to have to control it via an IR blaster from the HTPC. This, in my hands, is really slow and subject to failures (IR signal isn't just right, cat moves the blaster, dust leads to poor signal etc.) Currently I have an ASUS motherboard that is about 1-2 years old. I run the audio from the Toskey board output to a speaker bar. The video runs from the HTPC HDMI directly to the TV. If I could run just the HDMI to a receiver then to the TV and have the receiver take out the audio that would be great. Let me know what you have and how you like it. Cost is an issue so the less expensive the better. The most important thing is that it need to work without hours of driver configuration, crashing or Rube Goldberg type work around. I will pay top dollar for it working. Thanks -S [/QUOTE]
