582380 2007-08-18 06:36:00 I have three outputs on my soundcard whcih can be plugged into a 5.1 computer sound system. I now have a big shiny receiver with "unlimted" power and a grunty subwoofer. My problem is that the receiver has inputs like "left" and "right" and component inputs, which don't match with the sound cards outputs. My thought is to use a SPIDIF cable or some form of optical connection so I can play all the songs on my computer on the receiver but was wondering if any one can come up with a cheaper option.

cheers

582382 2007-08-18 07:34:00 okey dokey. I thought that might be the answer and then my scottish genes kicked in.

Thanks
