Can someone help me with a cool query about connecting a projector to a sound systems

[whiterussian]

You’re fine with the “Good” solution as long as you’re not an intolerable tech nerd. Almost all digital film screenings I have ever rigged have used the former. And yes, sound goes directly from source to sound plank, not via projector (some projectors do play a little sound but no-one uses that as it’s shit).

Was thinking while Doing research for these purchases that there’s few things id like to be an expert in less than audio visual technology.

It’s mainly for the kids tbh. Rearranging the spare room as a disco / cinema / soft play room so we’ve got an extra room for them in lockdown.

See my projector does indeed have sound and it is indeed crap but I haven’t done anything about it but given I am going to be home A LOT I want to invest. I assume it’s straight forward to connect the audio to a bluetooth speaker from my laptop for example? I know nothing about this, sorry.

I would still not use the sound from the projector, but rather the source (ie. your laptop).

Need to plug the USB-C through the coaxial snog release valve, then use a CMYK port set to 1118 to synchronise the wattage (about 4/kg) past the firewall.

Sorry to drag this up again but when the source is my Blu Ray player (below) which only has LAN and HMDI - can a LAN connection be used for audio?

[whiterussian]

Doubt it, I’ve never come across such a solution anyway. Just HDMI would work for a TV connection (carrying both audio and video) but here the video is going one place (projector) and audio somewhere else (sound plank) so that won’t work. You might be able to find some sort of adapter that could split the two from he HDMI output but I’m not sure.

[whiterussian]

Or try to get the audio from the projector, depending om what outputs it has, but normally that doesn’t work great

[roastthemonaspit]

Yeah I did that last night and it was bobbins which lead to me asking. Cheers!

I’ve got one of these, takes hdmi turns it into old monitor pin connection, splits the audio
