How to improve the audio output for a (too) flat screen TV?

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Modern flat screens of digital TVs are getting shallower.
So there will be less and less room for speakers (LS) of sufficient quality.
One solution is to connect external LS to the TV.
But that requires an "AV receiver", which for example in a kitchen TV is overly expensive.
A cheaper solution might be possible with the RaspberryPi complemented by a Wolfson audio card? My question is how to achieve this? Does anyone have experience in this application?
By Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) along with HDMI ARC (Audio Return Signal) the TV remote will switch inputs, change channels, together with setting the audio volume.

    Most "Kitchen" TV's also have a simple headphone Jack or Line out. This with a pair of powered Bose speakers will work just great. (Replace Bose with your brand of choice) and is a far simpler solution IMHO

     

    Or possibly an optical / SPDif output

    Thanks Peter, indeed that is also a possible solution, but then I have to live with two different remotes.

    And indeed I have tried it with a PC LS system together with a subwoofer. (Labtec).

    However the question is that my "kitchen" TV do have a HDMI-ARC connection, and I will apply this item for ease of only one remote needed!
