Does HDMI carry digital video and digital audio simultaneously, or do I need a separate digital audio cable?
If I want to connect a DVD player digitally, would I need two separate cables? For Digital Audio example, an HDMI cable for video and a digital coax cable for audio?So will I get the full digital surround sound experience by connecting an upscaling DVD player (with HDMI output) and an HD DVR (also with HDMI output) to my Denon AVR-588 receiver? Then using the receiver's HDMI output to connect to the TV and using the receiver's speakers terminals for the surround sound?

Additional Digital Audio Tips
Lots of LCD TVs have a digital audio output, but unfortunately it only provides 5.1 surround sound when the sound is coming from the TV’s internal tuner. When the TV is set to any other input such as the HDMI coming from a DVD player, the audio that the TV passes through to its digital audio output is just digital stereo, not 5.1 surround, even though the audio coming in from the HDMI input is 5.1 surround.For 5.1 digital surround sound when using your DVD player, connect the digital audio output on the DVD player directly to a 5.1 home theater receiver/amplifier.
With no digital input, you can’t connect the TV’s digital out to this box. Or if you use an HD set-top box, you can’t connect their digital output to this box.The AVR does have analog audio inputs, so you can still connect the analog out (if it is available) from the TV, however, you will not be able to hear multi-channel audio from HDTV stations that offer it.It is not a bad system, but if you can pay the same price or a little more and get a system with at least one input, it is worth it.(Make sure it matches your TV’s digital output – coax or optical )If later on you buy a separate DVD player, you can still use the AVR functionality.

Yes you can follow the above or you can also upgrade your sound card to one with a digital output or 5.1 – 7.1 outputs and use that instead. As long as you have some sort of audio output you can connect it to an external stereo system. If I were doing it I would opt for the new sound card with digital output
To do that, you need a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). You should just use the RCA out on the TV (if there is one). If there isn’t an RCA out, you will need to buy something like http://www.psaudio.com/ps/products/detail/digital-link-3-dac .
Cables arguably do make a difference. IMO, the largest difference will be when you’re going from the cheapest cables to more expensive aftermarket cables with gold plated connectors. Then, you basically go up in price 10-fold to get twice the sound and video quality performance. Worth it if you are a die-hard audio/videophile, but not necessary if you just want good sound on a tight budget.As you might expect, the higher quality your home theater is, the more you will benefit from higher quality cabling (i.e. your system is only as good as the weakest component in a basic sense).An excellent value in the high-end cable market is from DH Labs (Silver Sonic). Much better performance than the well-known Monster Cable for about the same price. DH Labs has been known by audiophiles as a sleeper underground cable company for at least 10 years and have received rave reviews from professional reviewers (Soundstage.com) as well as private owners (Audioreview.com).Rule of thumb… unless you’re a die-hard for the best performance, just make sure you get cables with gold plated connectors and you should be fine.Also, you might consider 75 Ohm digital coaxial SP/DIF cable as a formidable alternative to the Toslink optical digital audio cable if you have these connections available._____
Actually, when you had both systems on, you had two digital outputs connected together and that will damage them.You need a switchbox, unless you like to take your systems in to get them repaired on a regular basis.No cable / passive adapter can help you with this one — sorry!
Hi!,You can go for a Sony audio recorder, they are the best in quality and have good range of products. The devices also have good ports or means to transfer the data to another device.Have a nice day.
Mine just pulls out, but look for a tab (like on a phone jack) If you can’t find one, it may just be tight.
You would need a special type of box that has digital in and analog out…like the one listed below..
You can’t. You need an AV receiver.However, I am surprised you have a surround system with no digital audio input!! It makes no sense, unless it is one of those home-theaters in the box, with no external inputs.
