Then you just run an optical cable to your Amp/Receiver.


you dont have to buy anything if your Receiver has a coax-input. Mine is connected this way, from the digital out (looks like a headphonejack) to my Pioneer amp, into the connection for a LaserDisk. 1 RCA Cable, 1 RCA to MiniJack, No Distortion

Like the Digital Din on the Digital I/O card? Is that the connector you are using? Thats what my Speakers are hooked up through, using the DIN connnector, like a PS/2 one. The connectors on the Digital I/O card are as follows...

Digital Din - Hooked up to current speakers
SPDIF in RCA
SPDIF out RCA
Mini DIN MIDI in
Mini DIN MIDI out

On the actual SB Live card:
Line In
Microphone Out
Line Out Front
Line Out Rear
Joystick/MIDI

I currently have an 1/8->RCA adapter in the Front Out, then running the 50' of RCA to the back of my Amp. It does have Coax inputs as well...
