What cable do I need for this?

[Warpy]

hi,

I have a set of Yamaha TSS-15 speakers -It has "Digital in" for both Optical and Coaxial.

I Want to connect the Yamaha amp to the Digital out on the soundcard. Only problem is... I don't know what cable I need to buy! It needs to go from the SPDIF coaxial port on the sound card to my "digital in" on my amp.

Is there a Photo of what one of these cables look like?

I have connected the following:

* Optical S/PDIF connector.
* All Digital cables from speakers.

I think this is why my rear speakers aren't working in games properly and the realtek control panel. DTS works in DVD movies since its using the optical
cable.


what cable goes from the circled ports?

sod off lol. any 75ohm cable will do. shouldnt cost you more than a tenner. hell, i use a regular rca cable for mine. makes no difference unless you are planning to run a length over 10m or so



what motherboard is it? if it doesnt have a ddlive/dts interactive spu (soundcard) onboard then thats why your rears arent working in games. its nothing to do with the cables - optical and co-ax both carry the same signals.

mobo is a gigabyte ds3p rev 3.3 - i have the optical cable plugged in, but wasn't sure if i needed another cable so my games work with rear speakers! I get no sound from the sound test in the realtek sound panel from rear or center speakers you see, just the front left and right...
