There are two kinds of commonly used digital audio cable, one is an
RCA style coaxial copper cable, and the other is a fiber optic
"toslink" cable.  If your TV accepts coaxial input and your
motherboard has coaxial output, you can use pretty much any RCA cable
to do the connection.  If they're both fiber, you would need to get a
fiber cable for that.  The difficult case is when one has only copper
and the other has only fiber.

Setting up the PC to do digital output isn't very hard at all.

This should completely eliminate any hum.
