Solved Playing Computer Music Files Through Stereo Receiver


It's up to you to decide what connection is best.
Wired or wireless.
Personally, I would go the wireless route, no cables needed, just the Bluetooth dongle, if needed. Or this adapter below...
I called Denon about this, they told me that the AUTOULET device would work, even though it did nothing. However, after doing some further research, I purchased the Analog to Digital, which still did nothing. But the Bluetooth sounds the best if it will work. 1737261020322.webpautoutlet.webp

But how do people in general connect their computer to their stereo system to play their music? :think:
The easiest way is via 3.5mm AUX to Dual RCA cable. This cable is very easy to find or you may have one already that came with your receiver.

Hi @MalwareT

The schematic diagram below is a simplified version of my current Audio-Video-PC setup.
I've experimented with many solutions to getting audio/video to work for my needs. I tried using HDMI for audio from the PC to the AVR but found the results weren't right for me. So, I purchased a Digital Audio Convertor (DAC) \Headphone Amplifier. This works well for me because I listen to sound in various formats from standard CD level to audiophile. Note that I have all onboard audio and HDMI audio in the PC disabled and use USB for audio.

People do this in many ways. If audiophile sound isn't the goal, then Bluetooth can work fine. I went down the USB path from the PC because I'm not a fan of the quality of sound from onboard audio in PC. The final comment I'd make is get one thing working at a time when integrating an AVR with PC etc. It makes it much easier to get it all going.
Isn't a DAC device the device that I mentioned in my post #21? Because I have it set up like that, but it doesn't work.

Do you have wireless on the Dell? if so you wont need 2 Bluetooth devices! as the Dell wireless module should already have Bluetooth.

If not go for the USB adapter.

Will you be happy with stereo, rather than multichannel audio?

That's for the cable or the optical adapter. I don't know about the Bluetooth capabilities.
Stereo's fine. That's what I listened to before on my Windows 10 computer.

2 Bluetooth devices? Well, of course my Dell computer has Bluetooth, however, I'm just not sure if my Denon has Bluetooth, which I don't think it has. But I'll have to call about that tomorrow.

USB vs Bluetooth. Imho USB audio is better. USB audio will most likely require a windows driver.
