I have a 5.1 home theater system that has only A/V outputs, no optical or anything like that. I'm using an SB Extigy (External USB sound card + live drive combo) that has optical in/out, headphones, mic in, line in, midi out, midi in, spdif in, digital out, and 3 ports for sub woofer + rear+ front speakers (Computer speakers I'm assuming).
Anyways I went to Radio Shack to buy an A/V Y-adapter cable. I plugged the A/V cables in the back of the home theater system and the 1/8" stereo phone plug into the extigy. I tried plugging in to the line-in and headphones port but I still get no sound.
Can anyone help me please? What am I doing wrong? Is the idea that I'm proposing even remotely possible? TIA.
Edit: New problem. Sound is only coming out from the center channel speakers. There is no sound coming from the front or rear speakers. *sigh*
Edit2: Ok nevermind everything seems to work well now. I think. I hope. Thanks for your help ATOT!!
