Digital audio out

[philipb]

I assume there must be, but is there an adaptor to run from the SPDIF connector on my motherboard to the optical or digital input on an external amp so that I can output DD 5.1 sound?

Having never seen an SPDIF out on a motherboard before I don't know. What board is it and I'll take a look. But I don't think you'll find an optical one unless the output on the MB is optical.

Thanks for the reply. Actually I've rephrased the question in another post.
