How can I connect my PC to my HT Receiver that is about 50 ft (if I ran wire through the attic)? I understand that there are some wireless Media Center Extender devices out there, but they seem to have some shortcomings. I just want to throw the signal 50ft from my soundcard, but I don't know how far I can throw a line signal without signal degradation. I have both analog & digital input/outputs. I already have speakers where the computer is where the amp is stup for 2 rooms. Thanks in advance, Gerry Equipment: Sound Audigy 2 & Yamaha AVR1500 | ||||||||||||||||

Use high quality connections, keep the twist right up to your connections, and you'll get digital and analog audio over seventy five feet. | ||||||||||||||||
