5.1 speakers, computer & telly

[AK]

Right, this might be a bit of an odd one, but there are some awesome g33ks on here that will be able to hook me up..

Is it possible to hook a 5.1 speakers set-up to my computer and also to my telly? Perhaps with some sort of switch box?



Quite vague i know...

depends on the 5.1 package you get/got and how many inputs the amp will have but it is possible.

Any you recommend? Up to £200ish.

pass on that one tbh. I had a £50 job from asda, had all the inputs I could ever need and lasted me about 8 or 9 years. Worked a treat and sounded suprisingly good for a cheap set up.

Looking for a replacement myself now but too much to choose from. Currently looking at an Onkyo set up but thats £300 over on RicherSounds website.

I've got my surround sound linked to my mac, bluray player, and tv. I can also put my ipod/iphone in the specially made port/tray and it will play anything off there, sound quality is very good.

panasonic 5:1 SA-PT870

I got it for around £230 iirc

logitech z-5500 can be had for £230 or less and it fooking loud, will connect to everything too, ive got my ps3,tv,PC hooked up to it all running 5.1 and doesnt have a massive amp, it has a small control unit which is much better imo..

^^^ Same set up as that, the amp is on the back of the sub and all descreet...what id ideally like is a digital audio switch box where the PC, TV and PS3 go into that then 1 wire to the z5500s control box
