Hi,
I have the black Xbox Elite, plugged into my LG 32LF7700 via an HDMI cable. I was thinking of buying the Logitech Z5500's - I doubt many games support surround sound but I'm shallow like that, lots of speakers makes the nerd in me happy. BUT for the odd game that does, I was hoping proper 5.1 surround sound would be supported with this set up:
Xbox --HMDI cable--> TV --S/P-DIF TOSLINK (I that's what they're called)--> Speakers.
Would the 5.1 sound from the Xbox to the speakers VIA the TV still be full 5.1 surround?
Please bear in mind I'm a technical noob. Accordingly, I would love it if someone could clarify that the Z-5500's actually accept 5.1 digital input...
Oh by the way I currently have a set of Creative t7900 7.1's :") analogue only, I don't suppose there is any way to get at least 5.1 surround without an expensive digital to analogue converter is there? The TV has an analogue headphone port, I think that's it though in terms of analogue outputs.
Cheers!
Patrick
