Thanks. The TEAC AG -D15 is quite a decent specced amp ( 7:1) . Just lacking HDMI to make life as easy as possible. It has 2 SPDIF inputs. Only one is used for my cable/TV receiver. Yes, I thought about adding a soundcard with a TOSLINK/SPDIF output. But adding a 6m cable from my PC to the AV...

Thanks for your replies GoofyOne. It seems like I might invest in a Soundbar after all. That would solve my current connection issues. HDMI from my Cable receiver and my Nvidia card straight to the Soundbar would be an easier fix. Not that keen on the TEAC AV amp that was given to me. The lack...

Thanks. That`s the way I have it connected now. 3.5mm jack to stereo RCA on the AV amp. Just hoped adding a PCI/PC card would solve the problem.

Thanks for the reply. I`ll check into it. So a PC card with a SPDIF output would work as well? Price isn't really a problem. Just looking to get the best audio quality.

How can I connect my PC/MB to my A/V amp? ( M/B is an ASUS H87 plus 1150 socket). I thought adding a SPDIF card would be a cheaper/easier option. My NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 has an HDMI output, but no way to connect it to my AV amp ( TEAC AG 15D) . Yes, it`s an older model. Would a SPDIF be a...

After recent upgrades, I have the M/B leftover. Same for the Samsung SSD. I just need a new/2nd hand case to make a new build. It will be a basic PC. But if the ASUS m/b is too old to be of any use then I`ll save some money and put it in storage. Thanks for the reply though :)

I want to make a basic ( new) build with the above M/B. Would it work fine with Windows 10 PRO and a Samsung EVO 120GB SSD? And a suitable case is about all I need. Suggestions/ Tips, please.

Thanks. I have 2x HDMIs. 1x iGPU & 1x GPU Nvidia PCI card. PC will boot normally to Windows. Seems after watching some late-night YT videos, I did select to bypass the quick-boot' set-up. Not sure how that happened. JUst need to know how to correct that option so that I can access the BIOS at...

After installing a recent additional new WD HDD 2TB.... the BIOS screen doesn't show up at the startup. It goes straight to the Windows 10 screen/log-in. Tried the usual by pressing F2/ Delete like crazy. But nothing helps. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. That worked. Just disabled Auto and now have 2 HDMIs running 2 monitors/TVs. :)

The GT740 has only 1 HDMI output. Would rather not buy another adaptor as I have 2 HDMI cables and 2 monitors/TV`s.(An adaptor might be a final solution.) Thanks for your advice.

Intel Core i5 4570 Haswell Package Socket 1150 LGA.... Hope that helps.

How can I connect an HDMI cable from my ASUS H87-plus M/B to my VIERA TV while I`m using an Nvidia GT740 graphics card running my desktop monitor? The cables are all working. . How can I run both HDMI connections at the same time from my PC? Thanks in advance.

Well I`m using to ESET recovery CD to delete the old partitions and do another clean install from W7. Seems my neighbour has a OEM disc she is willing to lend. Fingers crossed.
