I'm the proud owner of a new PC with a ROG Strix B650E-F mobo, unfortunately it doesn't come with any digital sound outputs, (it shows optical in the manual but doesn't exist), only 3.5 mm plugs which my aged Logitec Z-5500, (guessing I've owned this longer than some of you have been alive :), doesn't seem to like.

Tempted to push the button on a AE-5 Plus but would just like confirmation that it doesn't require external power, only does if you are using the LED lighting strip?

Can anyone confirm please?

Many thanks
 
Can't help you with the ae-5 but the website and Manual for that board says it has an internal spdif header.

You would need a spdif daughter board and it would run off the internal sound card.
 
Can also recommend the creative x4 exterior sound card as well, bought one as I couldn't run my Ae5 plus and 5090 as the sound card made my video card run @8x. instead of 16x

I loved the AE5, served me well for many years, but took it out once I got a 5090 to clear up air flow. I’ve been really happy with the G8 as an external solution.

thanks for the reply, sorry to ask this really newbie question but if I do install an internal card how would I know that my 5090 is affected?
