Thanks for the reply. Is there a reason you would suspect the TV over the aerial, apart from its age?

It's about 15 years old now and running off an aerial in the loft. Quite often it seems unable to change to certain SD freeview stations. For example, one morning BBC1, 2 and ITV were fine but ch4, 5 and itv2 were blank. London live was fine, itv3 was blank and sky arts was fine. And so on. I...

Many thanks for that DRagnor. It seems incredibly out-dated, convoluted and plain crazy. And so unintuitive i don't feel too foolish for not guessing. No mini-jacks on the AV receiver, but in any event i shall get a 5.1 soundcard with spdif out. Anything manufactured in the last 25 years should...

Guys, I really was hoping for more information about the query than disparaging comments about the mobo. It's actually one of the most expensive (and up to date) mATX AM3+ boards i could find: low price was not an aspect of my decision. The reason i went for one without HDMI was because i...

DRagor - unfortunately not easy to find matx with spdif. Asus has one (optical) but i went with the ASrock assuming i would just add a sound card. Then when i saw the HD audio header and front HD audio panel on the case i assumed what i assumed. jsmithepa -this is the PC front panel and the...

Thanks guys for the detailed replies. So the HD audio output does indeed require a mini jack stereo connector. There seem to be an awful lot of wires for just two channels which is one thing that made me think it must be multichannel. I'm actually building a new mATX PC and learning as i go...

It seems the most easy mundane question, but i have searched the net for hours and cannot find the answer. A million explanations about how to connect the front panel HD audio to the mobo, but NOTHING about how to output from front panel to av receiver. What cable do i need? Is it a phono/RCA...
