Thanks for the reply.... If I were to use the s/pdif output on the mobo could you point m at an inexpensive amp that would do the job? Don't need any other source but the pc.
I have a sony ss-ws503 sub and ss-ts503 speakers... what cables/amp/receiver would i need to %^&$ them into outputting from this motherboard...
