I need to connect an av reciever to my pc using a digital coax cable so I can play movies on the pc in 5.1, what output do I need on the soundcard, and what cards would you reccomend?

How do trading standards let creative get away with selling i/o adaptors at £24? The cards digital output is useless without it, so they should have to include it with the card.

I've found the TRUST SC-5200 5.1 SURROUND SOUND CARD for £15,this has a coax digital output built in.

Just had a look on the manufacturer website, it doesn't output 5.1 through the digital connections. :rolleyes:

So if I buy a creative audigy se and a male 3.5mm to female mono phono adaptor I can get 5.1 surround to my amp in movies and games?
