audio on video output (composite video)
I'd like to be able to pipe a received video (a Netflix movie, for example) to a remote TV. However, the video output of the computer has no video riding on it. In order to pipe the corresponding audio to the TV, the choices are to split the audio coming out of the sound channel on the computer and then run coax cables to an audio amplifier by the TV, or to add the audio to the hdmi video stream. (Like on standard cable box outputs.) A gadget that can do this is called an audio inserter, and the cheapest one I've found starts at $50. OTOH, there may be a way to add audio to the video before the signals hit the video card in the computer, in software. Does anyone know if this has been done, and if so, how? I seem to recall an old computer that could produce composite video, altho I don't believe it was on an hdmi output. Any thoughts, folks? --doug
