Reddit reviews Digital Optical Audio Cable Toslink Cable - [24K Gold-Plated, Ultra-Durable] Syncwire Fiber Optic Male to Male Cord for Home Theater, Sound Bar, TV, PS4, Xbox, Playstation & More - 6ft

Well you've got a subwoofer, and an amplifier that isn't meant to work with a subwoofer, so that's the bulk of the problem.

The TV has a headphone and an optical out... the Headphone output you can use with a 3.5mm to stereo RCA cable, which is good... but The BasX S8 has line level in and out, but that's only going to work with one source, so no matter what there are going to be sacrifices made, here.

​

Here is my proposed method:

​

• This optical cable out from television ($9)
  
• To THIS DAC ($20)
  
• This Chromecast Audio ($35) (or you could use a bluetooth adapter to play your phone, with lower quality audio)
  
• Using THIS Cable plugged into Chromecast Audio and to DAC ($12)
  
• TWO Sets of THESE RCA Cables ($9 each), one from DAC to Subwoofer's LINE LEVEL IN, one from Subwoofers LINE LEVEL OUT, to Yamaha AMP input
  
  Total cost: $95
  
  But you'd need to run an aux cable/bluetooth/chromecast audio to have phone input on the yamaha anyway. Obviously if you have any of these cables you can save the money. RCA cables are pretty easy to find. So are optical cables.
  
  If music is more important to you than tv sound, you could run the optical cable to the chromecast and the 3.5mm rca to coaxial from the headphone output of your tv... your choice.
  
  ​
  
  The dac needs to exist because your amp lacks bass management and a subwoofer output.
  
  You will then use the subwoofer's crossovers to control the bass it receives and what it is sending out to the amplifier, and your Q100's will get the rest.

Just saw your Realtek Asus ROG screenshot.

If you have digital (optical) out on your computer and you have that cable, use that. The manual suggests that it is included, but I'm not 100% postive based upon their wording. If you have optical out, and don't have a cable, get one. It's called TOSLINK. It looks then same on both ends.Something like this. This is the best solution for PC connection.

Your heaphones are set for high impedance (like they should be) but that's a problem for these speakers.

Edifier FAQ's indicate that there have been problems with detection and they blame Windows for not updating properly. It's bogus that they don't have their drivers available for download.

There aren't different cards of optical audio cables. You can use something like this

Smitty! Please consider trying some layout and link formatting!

Are you using the new layout or the old.reddit on desktop? Or on mobile but that's a pain to format.

Here is your post formatted. Much easier to read and digest everything?
