Hi everyone!
I have my rig with a Biostar TZ77B motherboard (BIOSTAR link and Newegg link), and it has 6 audio ports on the back. So far I've only used the mic-in and line-out for my 2.1 system, but I'd like to know how, if at all possible, I would be able to hook this up to a 5.1 system.
I've been reading different questions and there doesn't seem to be one definite way to do it, so I was wondering what could apply to my case. The audio reciever I'd hook it up with is a Yamaha RX-V461 (Product page and Manual, there's a detail of the inputs and outputs on page 10).
The only problem I see is that my motherboard has 3.5-mm jacks and the receiver has RCA-like sized jacks. How could I go about going from one to the other? A cable adapter, an optical converter, etc?
Thanks a million for your time in advance!
