[QUOTE="Redback, post: 482124, member: 96131"] Hi all, I'm sure there's a pretty straight forward answer to this. I've recently been researching the Winfast DTV2000 H Plus and DTV1000S TV tuners, and am wondering how to get 5.1 audio from the movies on HD channels into the motherboards onboard sound (I'm planning to buy a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H). My surround speakers are connected to an amp, which will then be connected to the HTPC's motherboard via optical. I know that in the past you'd run a 3.5mm jack from the output of the tv card to the line in on the mobo, although this would only carry two channels, would it not? And connecting the TV Tuner internally to the CD or Aux-in on the mobo would also be two channel I'm guessing? What I want to achieve is that the surround sound goes from the tuner to the mobo, and then to the amp. This way I'll be able to record HD content with the surround, and play it back. I think there's a few of you with one of those aforementioned tuner cards. :thx: [/QUOTE]
