Computer to Denon

nlimit19 · 11-08-2009

Hey guys.

I just built a shuttle computer to set next to my Tv gear and have a little trouble getting everything to work..

I have the computer going HDMI to my Denon....and the Denon is going HDMI to the TV that now only acts like a monitor for everything.. (Tv, DVD, etc etc)

The shuttle was a blank machine and have installed XP on it..and believe all the driver are installed correctly. As I type this now I have the computer showing up on the TV, going through my Denon, but a couple things.....

1. I'm not getting any sound and believe I have set the Denon up correctly.. (as I'm seeing things opn the TV via HDMI)

2.The resolution is horrible and when I use the roller in the mouse its spotty and slow...

I'm terrible at all of this and could use some help..

Thank you..

Ok need to know what video card you are using. Most video cards that output HDMI will require a jumper to the spdif to get the audio and it usually won't be 5.1 audio. It is better to run a separate coax connection from your sound card to the Denon.
