Here is my problem:
I'm running Vista x64 and currently using onboard sound into a 5.1 setup. For my Xbox360 i'm using the optical out to connect to an old SB Extigy, which is also going out through my 5.1 speakers.
Unfortuantely, I have to keep swapping the speaker cables between the onboard and the Extigy, depending on what I want to use - this is a royal PITA
What I'd like therefore is a solution whereby I can have one soundcard for both systems - ideally something inside the PC that I can just connect the optical out from the Xbox360 to in order to get 5.1 sound from either source.
Any suggestions?
