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. Dale
