Hey guys, recently I got a new computer that has RealTek HD Audio output (ALC662 standard). Yes, it's onboard motherboard audio. The motherboard is a ASRock A780 FullDisplayPort MicroATX.
Four years ago, my brother bought me some 5.1 surround sound wireless headphones by Acoustic Research (model number AW791). I thought they were cool and got it to hook up on my computer... in analog. I would prefer digital, though. I wasn't bothered back then, being a freshman in high school, so I enjoyed analog with gusto.
Now it's 2008 and I'm wondering if I could get digital output to work.
Here's my current (unfortunately analog) setup.
As you can see, I’m using an adapter cable of sorts to make computer-audio compatible with my wireless-headphones-base.
My question is… Is it possible to get my computer to output SPDIF? And if so, is there an adapter cable out there that will let me plug in one end into my computer (SPDIF output) to my headphones base (coaxial-OR-optical input) ?
Important note: I can’t find any SPDIF output jack on my computer. The only jacks available are the ones that I took a picture of (the second JPEG image from the first)
Here is the RealTek control panel that I get from Windows:
