So I never use my tv anymore as I watch everything on my computer now but when I have "company" over to "watch a movie" it is nice to lay on the couch instead of having to both be in computer chairs. Now I already have a 50ft HDMI cord going from my computer to the tv that runs along the baseboard of my apartment but for sound I need to turn on my computer speakers and it is too far away/in the corner. Although I build my own computers, I am HORRIBLE with home audio.
My question, what would be the best way to add sound to my TV when watching shit from the computer? I have a receiver with no speakers at the moment (older hand-me-down but still only a couple years old) so i think my options would be:
Buy some "home audio" speakers and run a "red/white" cord from the receiver to the computer and then get a converter from red/white to "headphone jack" to plug into my computers sound card.
Order a 50ft "headphone jack cord" to run from my computer to my TV and then just buy some cheap, but decent computer speakers to put next to my tv.
Not sure if this is available on the market but perhaps get some sort of wifi speakers / device that I can hook up to my network and run through there.
I went to Best Buy and looked at some of those "all in one" speaker bars and they look cool but I don't know if it is worth it to spend $200 on something that I RARELY use when a set of $50 computer speakers would work just fine. I suppose I could get one of those "all in one" audio kits with the 5 speakers, receiver, and blu-ray player but I sold all of my discs and only run movies from my hard drive so I don't see myself ever using the blu-ray player.
Any help would be appreciated.
