  • I know that there are some complicated configurations that you could use to get the audio feed from display port to your receiver, like running it through a splitter that will strip out the audio and send it to your receiver separately. I’m pretty sure there are no mainstream AV receivers that will do what you want because the market is split between home theatre and PC, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread, and manufacturers need to be convinced there’s a market for it.

    In that situation, I would connect the output device, in this case a PC, directly to the TV/monitor with DP, and run optical audio from either the TV or the output device to receiver.

    You lose some of the integrated control that HDMI-CEC gives you, so get a good universal remote that can adapt to this set up and get one-button source switching back.





  • It was off, it’s LTT. It was intertainment with some interview.

    Still, L.T. had fascinating things to say, and a refreshing down-to-earth outlook on things like data storage (keeps no files really, just uploads to git and lets others worry about whether it’s worth saving or not), a.i. (important, somewhat inevitable, overblown hype, horrible business practices), and how he geeks out playing with hardware designs for things that are completely out of his expertise so it’s low stress (e.g. guitar effect pedals but he doesn’t play).
