The Jazz Out: 4000 Posts of Holo to Lure Him Back

Assuming understood what you meant :wacko:.

I'd say yes and no. Depends on the receiver. I had my Xbone hooked up to the tv and the tv output to the receiver, stereo worked fine but the surround sound mostly didn't work - rear speakers were just static and the center channel was super low in volume. Sub Woofer was fine though. My receiver is kinda old though.

I'm guessing your tv has like toslink output (optical) ?
Your receiver needs to have that digital input. Otherwise you need a converter box. Digital audio (either optical or coax) isn't analog (rca). A basic adapter doesn't work.

yeah it does.shit so that's out. any other possible(and cheap) solutions?

An old receiver that has digital input. Like an old pre-hdmi 5.1 surround receiver. People throw a lot of those away now so you can find them easily a scrap yards or wherever there is ewaste disposal.
I have a few here, a couple are yamaha units. I've also got an eary hdmi pioneer unit that has loads of jacks on it, on that one the hdmi stuff isn't pass-through tho iirc.

I've also got a really old yamaha prologic receiver here but that doesn't have any sort of 5.1 input (no digital inputs).

It couldn't be done passively like that, you'd need an ADC (analog to digital converter) of some kind.

I see DL has covered it already :wacko:.

Agreed, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one cheaply if you hunt for one. Someone was selling several for $5 each locally.

I've only kept that one for nostalgia reasons really, haven't used it for a long time.

Are there any fun Rugby sevens video games? There's a rugby sevens on the Mario & Sonic Olympic Games at Tokoy 2020, its fun, but pretty bare bones.

There appear to be a few rugby games but if they're any good or what you want I don't know :shrug:.

bought a new stand mount for my tv off amazon for under $20 with tax and free shipping and got it the next day(fuck you chinese ebayers) it's not a bad stand though it sits a bit high for my liking.
I tried tinkering with one of my stereo receivers but couldn't get any audio out of the speakers while connected to my tv. I did later see an option for external speakers in the tv menu.
