[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 804860, member: 24160"] It's not a matter of your MBP not having audio through DVI. DVI itself just does not support audio. Everything you have been told is correct. Yes, I've been doing this for quite awhile. The TV speaker volume has not been turned above zero on any of my TV's for maybe 15 years. Any recommendations on a receiver really requires much more detailed info, including: what you have been use to, what you want to achieve with a new system, the type and # of devices you plan to be connecting to the receiver, what size room are you putting it in, required ease of operation of all the integrated components, your budget, along with what is your satisfaction level with the sound you have been use to and what will be satisfying to you in the long run. Based on the answers to these type of questions, a valid recommendation could vary from a $300 setup to a $5000+ set up. Most people are well satisfied with sound systems, including speakers, in the $700-$2000 range. Although, the last friend I helped get set up with a new TV, Blu-Ray and sound is thrilled to death with his $350 all-in-one 5.1 sound system. His total set up price, including a 42" LCD, PS3, surround sound and connecting his existing Wii was under $1,500. His expectations were not high (comparatively speaking) and ended up with much better than he thought he would get. [/QUOTE]
