Hey guys,
Is it possible yet to get a soundcard (or a motherboard with on-board audio) that allows you to listen to all your computer audio via a digital out connection to a AV Receiver?
And by all computer audio, I mean I want to hear my stereo MP3's, my Dolby 5.1 DVD's, and the surround sound in my games all through the a digital coax or fibre optic cable.
Intel's new High Definition Audio looks like it might do it, but it could just be the same as my soundcard I already have below (which only allows you to do what I want by hooking up 2 outputs: 1 digital AND 4 y-cables for analogue output in 7.1)
Please let me know. Thanks
My System includes:
- AV 7.1 DTS/DolbyDigital Receiver with multiple digital inputs
- A brand new gaming PC with the Hercules Fortissimo 7.1 sound card
