Solution helpstar Apr 9, 2019 The soundblaster gets audio to the speakers, so it has to be connected to the optical out of the sound blaster. The optical in port is only if you wanna get audio into your PC, like an external playback device, e.g. game console. https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2017/12_w50/1214813/1.jpg
