need help

Hi, first ever post.

I am desperately wanting to run a home audio system off of my PC, that is pumping music from the PC to most rooms in the house but have no idea where to start.

I would like to find out if there are any web-sites, forums, threads publications or even cheesy american do-it-yourself videos that will spoon feed me some plans, equipments lists, software needed and such like.

I would be more than grateful if anyone could pass on some advice, maybe descriptions of their own similar system, idealy it would incorporate some wireless speakers as 'her-indoors' aint to keen in lifting all the floor boards.

Thanx

Start with the soundcard. If its value your after, Chaintech AV710 is a good bet for stereo if set up right. ~$25. Getting much better brings costs up an order of magnitude.

Im not really up on the wireless stuff.

I've just spent over an hour trying to locate that soundcard in the UK but no joy. From what I've read best stereo is from the rear speaker outputs.

This will do what you want:
