Hello everyone, you might be terrorized (that's the goal) but if you read it i should convince you that it's reasonable.
I was constantly joking about doing 5.1 on apple dongles ever since I realised how easy splitting 6 channels between 3 devices would be. So one day I got convinced that the joke is actually NOT that dumb of an idea. @Weeb Labs was the one that convinced me. He also recommended me cheap 6 channel amp. I wanted 6 channels for future 7.1 setup.
So what's the setup. I got linux HTPC with camilladsp running room correction and mixing. Here's plot of pipeline
I use alsa for mixing output into 3 separate devices. For now i'm using 2 dongles and onboard audio because t5v wanted higher signal. About that…
Speaker setup is:
So here are the gore pics. Enjoy
Split with overcurrent protection and plug with switch because PSU doesn't have any
Here's psu and amp, i'm printing nice stand for amp and psu is sitting in it's foam because why not (oh ye and they're on top of htpc)
Here are the dongles. Pic from before i switched to onboard. Bit of cable mess but what can you do
Dry setup
AMP + printed stand:
Hope you enjoyed xd Might sound cursed, and look cursed, but it sounds awesome and IS CHEAP AS HELL
