HP ProLiant MicroServer

[rogerwe]

How does a standalone sound system hook up with the microserver?

The simplest solution is sound over HDMI (ie your amp/receiver needs to have HDMI ports). AFAIK, the Microserver doesn't have onboard sound (other than PC speaker).

An alternative solution would would probably be to buy a suitable sound card (digital or optical out) and have your amp process the sound.

I think most people are using the former. Hope that helps.

Thanks. So hdmi sound to amp and then picture? Or do you then use the dvi port for that?

Next purchase is a good sound system.
