Music skips and sometimes Hoster crashes

Thanks Bryant, HDMI is the only video output I have on this computer no VGA or S-Video and I will need to use that for video unless there is a converter that does both, most of my monitors (TV's) use component wire so the video output would need to be component and composite.

Thanks Roy, I will try to do those things that you suggested, I will not be able to get to it until after the weekend. I will post back here to let you know how things went.

Great, and I think the whole issue may be a Dell thing, but not sure. I did weeks of research on why mine just wouldn't work with its onboard sound card, every forum, every driver available, latency issues, etc. and several computer fixer guys up here, you name it. All I know is that the Hdmi audio originally suggested from Roy D. works. Hopefully yours will too.

I've been looking for a converter that works for my purposes. I need the video output to include composite (yellow video) and component (green, blue and red) and now to include audio R/L, I Can't find such a monster. With the old XP and Windows 7 computers I used a K-World converter that hooked to VGA on PC and had the above outputs.

Before the audio issue I tried a HDMI to VGA chord that did not work. I just purchased a converter box HDMI in and VGA out and R/L audio out. The audio is wonderful no skips, but for some reason the VGA does not work like the VGA on all my PC's. In the next week I am going to find out if the venues I use component on if I can use composite a go the route that Bryant suggested.

Anyone have an idea what I should do, and Bryant what part are you using and where could I get one.

I use one of these, I don't now if it's the same as Bryant uses so might be better to see if he answers as he has similar computer to you.

This is a UK site but am sure you could find the same thing nearer to you.

I'm back again.
I mentioned before that I purchased the HDMI Mini that was suggested and that works great if all my monitors are rca (composite). Every one of my venues requires the rca and either component (red, blue & green) or HDMI (Most new TV's no longer have the composite (yellow rca). I can split the HDMI and get HDMI video from one side and R L audio from the mini on the other, but the component yellow part from the mini will not give video in that situation. Or I can just use the mini and get music and video (just rca yellow component) but in either case I can not get video for all my monitors with The Dell Windows 8 computer that I talked about originally and now I have a new Lenovo Windows 8 that also will not work, The Lenovo also has VGA which works fine for video but I can't get audio through the HDMI because you can't run both at the same time. I also tried an external sound card for audio and although the sound card sounds great on all my Windows 7 units it is terrible on the Window 8.
I have found but not purchased other units like the mini where you get R L audio and component (red, blue, green). But ideally I need something that can do both. If there is some suggestion anyone has that I can try so I can put the Windows 8 laptops into operation I am all ears.

I'm sorry if this was too busy to read
Thanks, Stu

I have yet to find a new tv that doesn't have composit video socket but I suppose I've been lucky.
I have no idea whether or not this thing would solve your problem but is an HDMI splitter.:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neet%C2%AE-S.../dp/B001D9P1OW
I was thinking plug one mini hdmi to rca into one of the outlets and into the other outlet plug a mini with component out or just use the other hdmi out direct.
I have no prior knowledge exsperiece with the above product it's just an idea.
