Optical audio to analog 3,5mm jacks

[aanimies]

Ive been thinking to buy Razer Tiamat 7.1 and id like know is it possible to convert audio coming from optical cable to 7.1 analog jacks? So i could use my Xbox One with that headset? So 1 optical cable coming and splitting up to four 3.5mm jacks?

Hello... Optical is Digital data and can not be inserted into an analog audio connector.

Pretty sure its possible but it'd be messy. You'd need a powered converter to change the digital optical audio to analogue signals, depending on how many analogue audio outs the converter had you might need to split a couple of them to plug all 4 jacks in. Also it probably would play in stereo rather than 7.1.

Hello... You need to talk to the maker of the headphones, for what type of PC card you need to insert into your Computer, too get true 7.1 optical to Analog out, between those devices.

you can use y connectors to duplicate the surround outs for surround side and rear if needed.
