Hi everyone,

For video my HTPC is connected to my TV with an HDMI cable.

For audio I have a 2.1 setup:
The 2 speakers connect to the subwoofer with RCA cables.
The subwoofer output is a 3.5mm cable.

My question is, how do I get the best sound?
Connect the 3.5mm cable to the PC's speaker output and set windows to it?
Or connect it to the TV's headphone jack and set windows to play via the HDMI cable?


2nd less important question, do I want the TV's speakers in addition or better keep them out of this?

Thanks!
