New to this and need help routing and setting up
Jordan Wayne Vance:
So I知 new to this forum and also new to the pro audio scene. I need help and suggestions on how I can route my powered mixer to my av unit so I will have 7 different channels and have the Dolby sound experience. I知 not sure how I can work it but I want to continue to keep my passive Yamaha 15s and peavey 12s on the pa side of the system so they池e able to get the power they deserves. So basically I have a power mixing console and a av receiver and a desktop for the audio coming in

You do not want to run any speaker level signals into your receiver, only line level.
There are too many questions to answer without more specific info.
What mixer? What receiver? Where is the 6.1 coming from? What speakers?

Ok so I知 using a desktop for my source of music running to an hdmi audio extractor that converts to 3.5 then I have a series of adapters. The first one being 3.5 to 2 line level inputs(rca) then after that one I have an adapter that turns the rcas into 2 1/4 cables which I have plugged into my Samson powered analog mixing board which I have the left on the first channel and the right on the second channel. I seem to get much more power to my passive speakers running it that way instead of doing the actual stereo channel so I did split mono. I have 2 Yamaha passive 15s and 2 peavey 12s on the mixing board. I want to leave them on the mixing board. I want to be to put my new Yamaha av receiver in the mix somehow so I can use 7 channels but with all different speakers still leaving my mixing board setup alone I just want to have them both play with one audio source. I知 not sure if the mixing board needs to be hooked up to av unit or vice versa. If I知 not still explaining it well , I do apologize

Again, what model receiver? or at least a pic of the rear panel to see what you have to work with.
