Hi Everyone,
I recently moved house and as a result I now have a spare amp which I would like to connect to my Alienware PC if possible.
I bought an optical cable hoping I could work out how to run from the S/PDIF Opitcal Output to the Amp.
My amp, which is a few years old, is a Denon AVR-1610 (manual here --> assets.denon.com/documentmaster/us/avr-1610-om_e_004b.pdf )
The Amp has two optical inputs - OPT1 (TV) and OPT2 (DVR). I have tried running the optical cable into both of those ports and setting Amp to those channels but hear no sound.
Previously I was running basis speakers from the orange speaker out port so I am not sure if this is -
a) A setting issue on the physical PC
b) Misuse of the optical out port
c) Misuse of the amp and how it works
I am not very savy when it comes to Audio so any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks very much.
