Can I get 5.1 sound out from this?
My Pc is new and has reatek ac97 5.1 on board.
The outputs look like spdif round jacks.
I am a bit confused:some posts here state that sp/dif is the same as optical/coax, others that I need a sound card with optical/coax out to get 5.1
My amp has optical and coaxial in (i use the optical for my tosh dvd player).
Is there anyway to get 5.1 sound to my amp using just the spdif out, given that the board is supposedly "5.1 onboard" ?
Cheers!
