Optical connections

[Participant]

Do most sound cards have an optical out? If not, which do?

Is it the best way to connect a sound card to a speaker set?

Which speaker sets have the ability to receive optical signals? Most or few?

Do most DVD players have an optical out?

Thanks!

1)A lot of the higher spec ones do. I know that most creative ones have optical outs and ins.

2)It'll depend on what speakers you have. You either can and have to connect your speakers this way (look at the cables lol), or vice versa.
