Simultaneous audio?

[Arcapse]

This might seem really basic and common knowledge, but this is my first time I've looked into audio stuff, so bare with me..

 

How do I hook up multiple audio outputs (TV, speakers & headphones) so they all play simultaneously?

Connect them via a splitter. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-MixIt-Rockstar-Splitter-Headphone/dp/B0017VKV2I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1426356730&sr=8-2&keywords=splitter

[Enderman]

just plug them all into your PC and set them to all play the same audio stream in your sound settings

I'd like to know where you think this setting is, mostly because it doesn't exist.

you need a chip that support it like the alc 1150

has 7.1 out + 2

if im right ? right guys ?

will it work on surround tv ? x3 hdmi outputs with sound ?

also i have a sound card, so i can have more outputs of the same audio stream if I enable them in the windows sound settings

hey any way to connect analogs out to hdmi or spdif ?

will spdif S2N will be same lower or higher then the analogs ?

and so about the hdmi ?

what is better for best connection S2N HD streaming ?

[ShearMe]

No, that setting is for the front and rear outputs. It does not involve the separate HDMI sound drivers.

That is for playing different programs across different outputs (according to the description), not the same output across multiple outputs. Correct me if wrong.

Even if OP had the chips, software, and drivers to support it, it's only 2 outputs, while he needs 3.

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. What is S2N?

You can only output a sound source through one HDMI or S/PDIF "device" at a time with windows. Probably your best bet is to get an optical "splitter" if you're wanting three TV's to play the same sound stream through their integrated speakers. An HDMI solution would involve separating the audio from the video signal before splitting and then recoupling with the three distinct video signals (imo too complex to bother trying).

signal to noise

[ShearMe]

signal to noise

 

Ah, that's usually denoted as "SNR"

Both HDMI and Optical support bit depths up to 24. Higher bit depth allows for a higher SNR, but 16-bit (CD standard) offers 96.33 dB of SNR which already surpasses human hearing capabilities.

right signal to noise ratio

 

the alc 1150 offers 115db snr

 

and my Audigy 4 pro 124db snr

 

you say that the spdif will be better ? or lets say a pcm signal (on 16bits)

Those specs are probably for the analog outputs. Digital SNR is irrelevant because the noise is discarded by whatever device is reading the digital signal.

S/PDIF will be easier to split into three cables to you three TVs.

Cheap solution is two of these: http://www.amazon.com/C2G-27027-Toslink-Digital-Splitter/dp/B0002344GG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1426359271&sr=8-3&keywords=optical+splitter

Expensive solution: http://www.amazon.com/Splitter-Distribution-Amplifier-Distributor-Multiplier/dp/B00GEG1KO4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1426359271&sr=8-8&keywords=optical+splitter

I don't own 3 tv im sorry if I confused you just gave an example

I wish I did

so no difference between spdif and hdmi coax ? in SNR and lag in ms (I don't know the word for it the time for a signal to arrive like ping)

HDMI can carry 192kHz 7.1 audio. S/PDIF can do 192kHz stereo, but sometimes 192 doesn't work on cheaper devices. Optical has the issue of jitter, but also only a problem on cheaper components. Again, SNR doesn't matter between any digital signals, be it HDMI, S/PDIF, USB, AES, or anything else.

 

I dunno about the lag. If over huge distances, optical obviously wins, but on the smaller scale I'd think the decoder chips make more of a difference.

well I have an alc1150 chip 

7.1+2 channel multi-streaming enables concurrent gaming/VoIP

Smart multiple streaming operation

Primary 16/20/24-bit SPDIF-OUT supports 32k/44.1k/48k/88.2k/96k/192kHz sample rate

doesn't say spdif channels

and im going to buy strix 970

what should I use  ?

What are you hooking it up to?

pioneer vsx923k it has all options

[creatip123]

Splitters are the way to go. Or if you wanna have a centralized volume knobs for each outputs, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-615220-4-Channel-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00H3TE5P2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426367208&sr=8-1

If you've got a monitor/TV hooked up to that via HDMI, just keep using HDMI.

but I was told that the spdif on the motherboard is with supremefx tech and shielding would the hdmi have same benefits ? on a gtx970 card ?  

 

If I can say the truth the signal is noisy lets say if I turn the volume up and no real loud sound come then I will hear a hiss like low white noise or something

when the audio driver is set to 16bit 44.1khz I can hear it with no need to up the db's

but when I set it to 24bit 192khz I hear nothing until I reach a very high level

 

will the spdif fix this problem or I  need to get something to balance the in\out like http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/HD400.aspx

 

just for the speaker and maybe for line level instead of hdmi (and use hdmi only for dtshd and dd turehd)

You've probably got some kinda of ground loops picking up EMI. An optical cable should fix this, as it cannot carry electrical signals between devices.
