[SOLVED] Is this even workable?

[yusuf45]

I need help finding something that fits between my Tv (Samsung Q6F) and my Surround Sound speakers (logitech x-530), what sort of adapter or converter?

Thank you for any help you can offer

Hi

Thanks for the answer, its just that... my Surround system doesn't have red and white RCA that's coming out from its system but only those three 5.1 analog cords.
Or i don't know where i would put those ´6 RCA with each having one 3.5mm.

I'm somewhat confuesed

So you take the 1st or 3rd link, that takes digital from the TV and turns it to Analogue for your speakers, it's then a matter of converting the RCA to 3.5mm jack, which you need RCA to female 3.5mm not male like i've posted.

What if:

Using this adapter and a optical cable.

also
5 aux port 3.5mm

could this be possible? would it give me the performance i need, (the fully working 5.1 surround)?

 

[13thmonkey]

That's only left and right out, not 5.1 out

That's a big FAT negative.

These are PC speakers intended to be hooked up to a.... tada PC.

The speakers themselves take discrete 5.1 channels analog audio from a PC. The PC does the surround decoding.

TVs have no surround decoding capability, it just sends out the surround signal and expects your external gears to do the decoding.

Your external speakers would have surround decoding if it accepts a digital signal in the form of HDMI/Optical and has setting for the many surround modes. The X530 has none.

There are cheapy decoders you can buy to insert in the middle but I have no idea over their performance and reliability.

So a bit like... tada, the optical to RCA devices. They work well enough to power PC speakers.

If anybody posted one of those converter on top, whoops, I didn't read. Optical In, 6 discrete channels Out, that's what u want.
