Best way to get good audio quality from TV to PC?
I like to watch series and movies with headphones. And the built in Bluetooth on FireSticks or other devices just isn't great and or reliable.
What I've been doing is a 15 foot RCA to line in on my desktop PC and then using the Bluetooth on my desktop to use my Bluetooth headphones that way and the connection is stable but the audio always goes in and out of one ear and I have to keep adjusting the cable to fix it and it will work for a short while before it starts having issues again. And the audio quality isn't that great but it's not terrible.
I'm curious if there's a better way with better audio quality that would also cut out the hums and white noise of the RCA/line in method.
I think there's an optical output on my TV but not sure what'd I need for the desktop PC but I'm thinking that might be the way to go?
