Mine's pretty simple. Computer and game console and DirecTV receiver
all feed an A/V Receiver. It feeds a 5.1 speaker system and a TV
display. It's really pretty simple but the number of cables can get
overwhelming in some cases.
The DirecTV box (or cable box, I'd suspect) goes into the receiver over
HDMI.
The TV comes out of the receiver over HDMI. I don't use the TV audio,
but it comes out of the receiver on the same HDMI cable.
The computer video goes into the receiver on HDMI, and the audio goes in
on optical, due to limitations in the hardware in the computer.
Theoretically, this should be doable with only the HDMI cable.
The game console goes into the receiver as RCA video plus optical audio.
The CD player goes into the receiver as optical.
The computer has a second video out that goes to a dedicated 23" display
so I can dink with things on the computer while the A/V outputs are on
some other source.
