.

most amps only have 1 or 2 optical connections but you could definitely use that for computer audio if your soundcard/mobo allows.

as for the tv & 360 audio... just the standard red white cables is the only way.
unless you go for an amp with hdmi.

hope it helps!

ty also the xbox has an optic audio output slot on the vga cables and the satalight tv thingo has optic output aswell.. mmm

 

[jebus101]

ah ok. well there's quite a few amps with 2 op slots... but i havnt seen any with 3

you could hunt one down but its probably better to get a switch.
eg. Switch

kk would it be possible to recommend an amp idk what im looking for

 

[jebus101]

depends on your price range & the level of quality you want... im guessing you want a 5.1 amp ?

most yamaha, onkyo, harman kardon stuff is good but it all depends on the model... probably want to steer of dodgy hi-fi brands though

maybe check out ebay to see what they have in your price range & get some ideas about models.

An AV Receiver is pointless when using something like the Logitech X-540 as this guy is.

ah ok... i just assumed he had some speakers to plug into the amp.
but if not, tudj is right.

 

[anthony92]

ohh k is there any way to do what i want then???

 

[jebus101]

well, those speakers don't have optical. you could look into a pair of z5500's and a decent sound card with op. Otherwise, the other option is to get an amp & some decent speakers, it will sound better but will definitely cost more.

you need to buy real speakers to do what you want. You don't have to spend a lot of money, but really what you are looking for is a good a/v receiver. audioholics has some on sale right now, including a couple lower model marantz models on clearance.
for speakers you could go with energy, psb, paradigm, etc. all make some pretty decent entry level speakers. purchase a pair at a time and build up to surround sound if you need.
right now av123 is having a sale on their elt525 series, which at regular price is very good for the price, at half off it's a steal.
