Yeah, from my understanding Jac is right. I too have a 5.1 capable
card in my PC with a digital out connection, but finding a cable that
goes from the mini jack on my PC to a digital coax connection on my
klipsch promedia reciever seems to be the problem. I have looked
everywhere online and off but have yet to find one. Some idiot at
radioshack said they usually have them in stock, but i am beginning to
think he has no idea what i need since radioshack.com didn't have the
cable either. If someone finds a cable please tell me.
