99319 2002-11-17 23:52:00 Is there any way to convert a standard 5.1 channel SPDIF audio output to 6 ordinary speaker connecters? I want to hook up 6 normal speakers to get 5.1 surround, but I cant use a standard SPDIF to do this...

Can anyone suggest a website, kitset or whatever that would show me how to make a converter?

The signal is digitally encoded, and needs a microprocessor driven decoder, any "kit" would be an expensive Audio Amp kitset, but given the complexity there may not be many around. They are probably not any cheaper than a manufactured unit if they are available.

Its not a matter of a few components to "split" the signal, its basically a computer required to decode it.
