Option 1 - If your TV supports ARC plug the HDMI out of the HTib into the HDMI ARC input of the TV and turn ARC on. This will send the audio of the PC (and other souces) to the HTiB. Dell connects to TV with HDMI.

Option 2 - Use an HDMI audio extractor to provide a digital audio output for the HTiB. This will sound better than analog.

Option 3 - Connect the audio out of the Dell to the HTiB and the HDMI out to the TV. Set the audio to output from the the audio out not the HDMI.
