I intend using mp Pc as a HCPC to my projector---
I have everything sorted except my sound. Currently I have a 5.1 sound card (Creative labs) from my last computer which has never been used, I also think the Mother board has 7.1 capabilities built in.... but would need to look at this further.
The problem ---- I am running a 6.1 system in a small dedicated room for the projector from a Marantz 5200 - The current DVD player that I was using used an optical out - to get the signal to the receiver.
Question - Whats the best way to get a signal to a receiver from a computer? I dont think I need a decoder of any sort, just a full optical or digi out.
Is the only way to buy say an:
Sound Blaster® Audigy 2 NX
£84.26 ex VAT £99.01 inc VAT
http://uk.europe.creative.com/estore/product.asp?prod=517
Seems an expensive way, just to get an output!!
But if it is the only way, which card to people recommend?
Thanks, for the help Bill
