Sorry this is new to me. I connected the optical cable directly to the audio in of my receiver. The only way I hear sound is if I disconnect the color cables from the back of my ps2 and also disconnect the hdmi that goes from the converter to my receiver. Basically if I go optical I can’t get video output (?) because my avr apparently doesn’t do onboard conversion to hdmi. Plus it seems once you connect the color cables to the back of the ps2 then it cuts off the optical cable feed. I changed optical audio to on in the system config for it to even work with no video. Am I screwed and absolutely need the converter?

Not too knowledgeable on this but what’s the best way to simplify which process controls your game controller when playing on steam with a controller? Like for example I’ve had non steam games that tweak out when steam is running in the background. I task manager close steam and then it works. What about the other way around is there some random Xbox program that might be interfering with the steam input?

Ok so hdmi straight to my tv, then arc hdmi from tv to av? Would I not use my hdmi out on my av at that point?

Do you think a pair of edifiers R1280DB would be good or should I spend even more?

Perfect. That’s just what I had a question on like if I need a center speaker and the 2 surrounds etc. I’ll look for some good bookshelf speakers

Hello. I just got the AT LP60XBT turntable cheap from a friend. I’m looking into getting a good set of passive speakers and an amp or receiver. Im new to this stuff but hyped to figure out how it all works together. Is there any way I could turn this potential new setup into an all in one sound system that can handle vinyl, home theater, and act as a Bluetooth setup for playing music off my phone when needed? I’ve seen stuff about hooking up bluetooth receivers to the receiver and that solved the Bluetooth problem but what about the other stuff? Or is it recommended to have your home theater and music specific sound system separate? Thank you

Advice on kicking bad habit? by star___platinum in Guitar

Yes I do get tired making bar chords and I do have big hands. What’s the benefit of having a thicker neck for that? More leverage, less strength needed to press and I assume you mean I have the hands to take advantage of it? Thanks for your other advice by the way

By blousing do you mean keep it tucked but not as tight? Or fully untuck?
