I had my Audi A6's system software upgraded to the latest year's model, which includes AMI (the Audi Music Interface), which integrates with the car's MMI system. (which had to be also ugpraded as a result, which came with new navigation software too...)

Absolutely in love.
With this wonderful weather I can't decide now whether I like driving the car with music or the motorcycle. |

| LazyWeb: audio distribution |
[Apr. 8th, 2006|08:13 pm] |
Dear Lazyweb,
Any problems splitting RCA SPDIF into two identical receivers? Sync issues?
I'm thinking of buying a couple relatively cheap amps instead of a massive speaker distribution system.
Okay, backing up: I want to get audio from a little MiniITX machine (with SPDIF out) out to like 20 speakers, all of whose speaker wire comes to one place.
The advantage to multiple cheap amps is I get zone control for free: manual on/off. Or automatic with remote-managed power strip.
If I get something big/fancy, I'd like serial port/etc control of muting speakers.
I don't even know what terms to Google for, and all my phone calls to installers aren't getting returned. Most frustrating.
Lovingly always,
Brad |

Enjoy, while it lasts. I may take it down if it takes up too much bandwidth.
This is not an official LiveJournal feature (yet?). This is all done on my own server, using public data, as anybody else could do. |

How can I get the frickin' coax (SPDIF?) digital audio cable (RCA) to output sound? I have it going into my receiver, but nothing. The receiver's fine... works with my DVD player. Maybe it's the wrong type? DVD player says "Coax digital audio out" or something. Receiver says "Coax.". There's also another digital RCA input on the receiver labeled "Dolby AC-3" or something, but it doesn't work either.
