How to get bluray player audio to PC?

[newhere2015]

Are their any bluray players where I could have the audio go through my PC and the video/hdmi through my TV? I have my PS3 audio going through my PC line input, but there is feedback/hum/buzzing. Is there a Bluray player that could use the optical connection on my PC. Looking for a standalone player not a PC bluray player.

Does your PC have optical In?

I use my PS3 to play BluRay. Video goes via HDMI, audio via optical cable to my receiver.
You can use that optical out to go to anything with an optical in.

If you want to eliminate the noise in your current connection scheme this might help

Otherwise there are BD players with optical audio out but they will not be entry level priced units as these are stripped down to HDMI and ethernet connections.

Tried the optical cable with the PS3 and PC and it sounded like it was mono, went through the PS3 and PC audio settings, did not see anything that would make it sound like that. Maybe the PC is optical out?

I ended up getting rid of the hum/feedback. I turned off "Loudness Equalization" in my PC audio properties and it went away.
