I have the opportunity to purchase a nice home theater 5.1 system with the subwoofer having its own built-in amplifier. Has anyone utilized a home theater set-up for their PC sound? Is it over-kill?
My sound card is an M-Audio Revolution 5.1. The tech help said that as long as my card has 3x2 channels, output connecters for L/R, rear L/R, and center/subwoofer I should be fine. This system includes 3x1 mini to 2 RCA cables to connect for connection.
The only thing I don't like at the system I am looking at is that the master volume, the sub woofer volume and subwoofer frequency VR switcher is on the back panel. I can preset the volume and frequency cut off and use the volume control of the playback software to adjust the volume.
What do you thinK? Suggestions, advice, encouragement, warnings -- all are welcomed.
