What board and CPU ya got? I had audio working over HDMI from the Mobo in OS X in that case so it shouldn't be hard to get it working in W10...

Ah, I just cannibalised some old desktop, so the mobi is some random MSI one without any onboard graphics. It did come with a video card with dual DVI connectors, so I suppose I could get a DVI to HDMI adapter which would sort the video, but then would need to run a separate cable for the audio, which might confuse the TV i.e. I would need it to recognise an analogue audio input while displaying video from an HDMI source.

Ah right, thanks for the info, yeah I think I might delve into the Raspberry Pi route for myself at some point, never used or built one before but the space saving alone makes it an appealing option. For my folks though I think I'll plough ahead with the HTPC option as I've already got most of the parts and my Dad is familiar with PC's. that being the case what are the options for audio over HDMI in PC's? I'd rather avoid an audio cable from the PC to the TV, so does that just leave a video card with an audio enabled HDMI port?
