can i use a dvd player as a receiver to make 5.1 true surround sound system?
i have a logitech 5.1 speakers which i have connected to my pc motherboard (asus p8z77) which outputs stereo sound, first of all i wanted to ask that can't i get 5.1 surround sound through these speakers without a receiver by connecting them directly to motherboard through s/pdif out and if in this case i really need a receiver to get true 5.1 surround sound can i use my (dvd player) as a receiver?

(asus p8z77) http://www.asus.com/motherboards/p8z77v/#specifications

(dvd player) http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/archive/dv-120-k/page.html

i really wish i could just find a simple solution. i can't find a single simple solution from anywhere over the internet that makes sense to me, without having to just post questions myself.
thanks in advance for your help.
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.
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. there are many sound-system specialists who could advise you on the best way to install a cd player in your crv. recently, when i wanted to fit a cd player to my 1997 bmw, i had to go to an aftermarket sound-system specialist because bmw no longer stocked the cd player that was compatible with the factory system. in the end i had to compromise. there was simply no way of doing what i wanted to do. for starters, try chris watson at central car radio in bentleigh. right: that's because your play:1 speakers do not support airplay. the support article below may help.

[View solution in original post](/t5/Discussions/Onn-Roku-Soundbar-question-WalMart/m-p/520740#M204) 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) philips css2133b/f7 - the philips css2133b/f7 is a compact soundbar speaker with 2.1 channels. it is ideally paired with a 32-inch and larger tv. it has one digital coaxial input, one digital optical input, a subwoofer output, and an auxiliary input. if you do a web search for flex sdr-1000 you will find alot of info.

i am pretty sure you are going to need a pc with a parallel port, once upon a time there was a usb adapter available that worked for this radio, the driver is available but you will most likely not find the adapter.
i had to run windows 7 32 bit to get mine to work.
i used the version of powersdr from the ke9ns website called excalibur, if you can't find it i have it backed up on my nas. Do you have a laptop or desktop?


If its a desktop, do you have integrated (part of the motherboard) or discrete (card plugged into a slot in motherboard)  

networking controller?


Ususally Fedora (at least for the past several years) has had great support for ethernet controllers right 'out of the box'.


Have you used this particular machine with other operating systems and had the internet work correctly through through ethernet?


Did you create the Fedora bootable media yourself? Did you install Fedora yourself? Did you have the computer connected to the router through the ethernet cable while you did the install?


If you have a discrete networking card, you might need unusual drivers that the Fedora live media did not have.


If you did make the live media yourself, did you check the .iso file integrity before writing it?


Are other computers on the same network able to access the internet? You can get seperate dc jacks from here
