Throwing a party at my place and want to set up karaoke on my computer. In terms of hardware, I have mics that are going to be connected into an audio interface and everything is being output through my home theater system. I need help figuring out the software side of things. I have little to no clue whats available, what to use, and what file format these things should be in. I only know of KMplayer and using .LRC files for the lyrics. Anything else out there that may be worth a whirl?

PICTURES ARE BELOW Basically this was my system before. Core 2 Duo 1 x 2gb DDR3 Biostar G41D3C motherboard generic Mini-ITX case some ATI video output card 320GB HDD This system acted as my Karaoke machine. There were two ports on the ATI video card (see pics), one VGA connector and one yellow AV input (i believe is composite cable). When i turn on the system, it would turn on my monitor (only 1 VGA port) and load WIndows XP then the Karaoke software. Then I would switch my TV (3 x HDMI, 1 x AV) to AV mode. After I choose a song on the monitor, it would display the music video on the screen and via the audio cable from the PC to my amplifier then to the speakers. The music would thus play on the speakers. Now my ATI video card is spoiled. The video output would be totally corrupted. Here is the list of SPARE parts I currently have: 1 x MSI GeForce 210 graphics card (fully working) 1 x Zotac GTX 970 graphics card (fully working) 1 x HDMI to AV connector (fully working) 1 x Full screwdriver set 1 x Intel Core i7 3770 processor 1 x Intel Core i5 750 processor 1 x AcBel 400W power supply 1 x WD 1TB Caviar Black HDD 1 x Sandisk 16GB USB drive 1 x dual Molex to 6 pin connector 2 x Team Elite DDR3 2GB modules 1 x HDMI cable (fully working) 1 x male to male FULL AV input cable 1 x Cooler Master Elite 310 Casing Basically what I have done is since the current mITX case is too small, i put the motherboard into my CM case and plugged in the AcBel power supply cables, the hard drive, but changed the ATI graphics card to the GeForce 210 card (1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI, 1 x VGA). I plugged in the VGA cable to my monitor and the HDMI to AV connector into the HDMI port. I plugged the yellow AV cable into the connector. I also plugged the sound connector (the one the iPhone 7 doesn't have) into the sound IO on my motherboard's IO panel. There was no display. I tried it again, removing the VGA cable and my TV displayed the software albeit being slightly blurry. Removing the yellow VGA cable would also yield the same result, but it would be displayed on the monitor. I think the problem may be with the GeForce 210 card only allowing 2 displays but in this configuration (DVI and VGA), (HDMI and DVI) [according to NVIDIA forums]. I thought of using my GTX 970 (2 x DVI, 1 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort) but since my monitor only has one VGA port, it would be kind of useless. So, I knew I was in a pickle and had to either get a graphics card that supported dual display (HDMI and VGA) or do something else. Just before my ATI graphics card spoiled, I was planning to upgrade my rig from an i5 750 to an i7 3770 gaming console killer system. (This is why i have those parts and my GTX 970) My motherboard has not arrived yet but I was planning to build my system into the CM Elite 310 system and connect it via HDMI to my TV. However, can I take advantage of this situation and get my Karaoke to run off the same system? Basically, I would plug the HDMI AV connector into the HDMI port on my GTX 970 and the yellow AV connector into the respective slot. Then, I would get a DisplayPort to HDMI connector and plug the DisplayPort into the GTX 970. I would get another HDMI port and plug it from the DP HDMI connector to my TV HDMI input. Lastly, i would get a DVI/DVI-D to VGA connector so I can connect it to my monitor. I would plug in my audio connector from my amp to my new motherboard (Biostar H61MGV3) When I am loading Windows 10 to play games, I would just change the input on my TV to HDMI which is where my game would display. My monitor would act as the temperature monitoring panel. The audio would come out of my BMB speakers. When I switch to Karaoke mode, I just have to change my TV to AV mode (must i plug out the DP to HDMI connector?) and i will choose my song on the monitor and it would play on the TV. Audio from speakers again. If my understanding of ports are correct, this should work? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Pictures are below!

so i want to sing karaoke with YouTube through my Blu-ray player with my microphones. the problem is that i want to use my current 5.1 surround speakers that's connected to an AMP with HDMI switches. i want to connect both the Blu-ray HDMI output and my Karaoke machine R/L ,or with an adapter 3.5mm audio, into a single HDMI. Is there a Mixer or a HDMI pass-through box that can input HDMI and R/L / 3.5mm audio into a single HDMI ouput?

My family is Taiwanese, and my mother just purchased a Taiwanese karaoke machine. I have been struggling to figure out what type of music/file format the machine actually uses. I copied some music off of the machine, but my computer/(me) cant make heads or tails of the file format. I think the large file is a video file of some sort, and that .hm2-4 are midi files for the interments. I also think the .hm6 file might be text and or timing info... I do know all of the files are the same song, but i dont know how to interoperate them. The machine comes preloaded with a bunch of Taiwanese songs, and i am trying to figure out if i can add western songs/create new songs to load to the machine. 19111.hd6 19111.hm2 19111.hm3 19111.hm4 19111.hm6 19111.INF

Okay so I'm not an expert on amps and audio and stuff so I need some help! I downloaded the karaoke app on my roku and bought a microphone, and so I thought all I had to do was plug the mic into the TV and I was good to go. Naturally I was wrong, and I need an amp for the mic. The amp is on the way now, ordered 1 on amazon. The Lepai LP-2020A+ Tripath TA2020 Class-T Hi-Fi Audio Amplifier. I plan on hooking them up to some old desktop speakers. Will they be good enough? Should I hook the amplifier to my TV somehow instead? I'm not looking for an amazing sound experience, as long as it's not too distorted and stuff, I'll be happy. Next question is I heard that a mixer of some sort would be a good idea, so that the sound from the karaoke music and voice from the microphone mix and come out the same speakers. Is this true? Any advice is welcome guys! I'm all ears! Thanks in advance!

I realised i like singing only few months ago.....
