Audio system problem

[TheToolofLight]

Greetings, I have a problem with my audio tech. I recently bought the pioneer s-hs100 sound system, and the only boxed reciever i have is this: http/tinypic.com/r/1547das/9
I was wondering if i could make it work any way? I cant see a line in etc.. I need to connect it to my pc.

I dont seem to have an optical port, however, i do have hdmi..

Hi

Connect it to the optical spdif in. You havent one on your mobo so you will want to invest in a cheap soundcard like this.

Hey, thanks for your answer. I was wondering if there were any better alternatives ? Are the box receivers more expensive than a audio card ? Also, what type of cable am i going to need for this ? Also, the cheapest sound card for me right now is Asus XONAR DG, will this work ?

Yeah the xonar has an optical spdif. You will need the following cable.

A decent AV receiver will set you back a bit. Probably 10 times the cost of a card. Although a new receiver will give you things like DTS MA whereas this amp most probably only does DTS.
