Digital AC3 from laptop...

[Maras]

hallo,

do you know any device to output digital audio (DD5.1) from laptop ? I have already sound adapter, but it is stereo only :(

I think that it's possible to do it by e.g. USB port...

greets,

mayB there's a LAN to SPDIF convertor..
if there IS, you could buy a cheap NIC & this convertor.
