integrated system
want to know if it is possible to integrate my computer based sonos system and play music thru my two sonos 1 speakers and playbar as well as use the three speakers as a home theater.
no, it won't sync as a home theater system with other speaker. the sonos surround system was design to work in the sonos ecosphere with a playbar/base, sub and 2 sonos match pairs. 
music is a different story. you can just add more speaker via the sonos connect amp or adding more sonos speakers.
you need to add an external speaker selector and connect it to the front speaker connection on the receiver. set the receiver to stereo.
when you play them all together one pair may be too loud so you can connect an external speaker level volume control to the pair that are too loud. that can go in the remote location if needed. you can also get the speaker selector with volume 
controls built in.

[View solution in original post](/t5/Discussions/Onn-Roku-Soundbar-question-WalMart/m-p/520740#M204) motherboard - optical s/pdif out port(s) at back panel
dvd player - appears to have no audio input
speakers - do they have an s/pdif input?

so it appears you don't have the right things to connect to the other right things.

thanks for prompt reply,
ok leave the dvd aside and tell me that can't my mother board act as an amplifier or receiver as my mother board is new and it has the best inbuilt realtek® alc892 8-channel sound card?
one more thing tell me a best solution to make 5.1 surround system with these speakers.

the motherboard audio does not have an amplifier in it to drive speakers, the speakers have the amp in them. and that motherboard is capable of 5.1 sound, it's an 8-channel sound card in fact. what exactly are you having issues with? read the manual to the motherboard and the speakers, between those it should tell you what you need to do. Have you tried enabling the Stero Mix function in the Sound options within Control Panel? I'm assuming you are using Windows 7 here, so go into Sound and the the tab that says Recording. Right click and choose "Show Disabled Devices". Then right click on the option that says Stero Mix and choose Enable.  

From there download Audacity for free from the internet (or alternatively use whatever program you currently use) and start recording from any source playing from your computer. Can look in the direction of the library [NAudio](https://github.com/naudio/NAudio) to decode and playback the audio. The GUI can be done in wpf/uwp or [avalonia](https://www.avaloniaui.net). You can still do instead of another GUI player-player console, as Linux cmus - to implement such a UI, you can use the [Gui.cs](https://github.com/migueldeicaza/gui.cs) those cables will work but you don't really need them as you only have to get to where the speaker wire comes out of the wall. just cut a pair of rca cables in half. there will be a center wire that connects to the positive and the shield, that wraps around the insulated center wire, is the negative. 
the only potential problem is that you may not have enough power to drive the rears loud enough. thanks for help man now i can play becuase i change my windows 8.1 > windows 10 and it’s working thx for ask for anything man. Kir,

If combining the on board Intel® HD Graphics with a external PCI/PCIe video card, Windows will allow using the two graphics controllers at the same time, but the only dual display mode available is "Extended desktop". If you are looking for other dual display options like "Clone display" then it will be necessary to connect the two monitors into one of the graphics solutions, the on board or the video card so Windows will give you the dual display modes available depending on the graphics adapter.

In order to accomplish this, the most important thing is to change some settings on the BIOS. Please go to the configuration tab>video>integrated graphics device> set to "always enable"

 

Regards.

Regards hi @

yes. this technology sends power and data over just 2 wires.

(despite having the name 1 wire).
