Ok I'm looking to make the lamest media center ever. If fact, one could argue this is not even close to being a media center.
I'm not trying to record TV shows for future play back. Therefore I don't need a tuner card and I don't need DVD functionality. All I want to do is hook my CentOS box to my LCD television and play avi videos or YouTube clips.
Think of it as me hooking my box up to a larger monitor which has built in speakers.
I bought a VGA cable and the picture works perfectly. Now I need a way to get audio to the TV. My TV has the usual female connections (RCA, HDMI, etc) including a 1/8" stereo "audio in" plug hole.
What kind of cable do I need for the audio? I'm using a very old Dell OptiPlex GX400 so I'm not looking for an elite media center. Just a bare bones basic setup for playing web clips...nothing more.
