[mythtv-users] Audio

[George W Rocklein Jr]

My motherboard supports 5.1 sound, but there's no external connection 
for it.  However, there's a connector provided on the motherboard that 
you can get an spdif signal from.  My motherboard manufacturer -- 
Biostar -- sent me an adapter that had both coaxial and optical ports I 
could mount to an unused PCI port on the back of my pc.  Check your mb 
documentation to see if this type of thing is available to you, too.
