I have a pc with several sound output plugs: front, rear, surround, etc. My speakers accept only spdif (optical and coax) or RCA (stereo) inputs, so in any case there is only one connection from them to the pc. Previously I had a PC with spdif plug out so there was no problem. Now my on board 5.1 sound card has only the several out plugs without one dedicated to spdif. I think it could be a matter of many others with onboard audio... Can I make a sort of "routing/grouping" of the several out signals to only one plug and then connect it to the coax (through adpater) to get the 5.1 signal? Do the softwares that come with Windows XP drivers get something like this? For example in XP if I connect a plug it asks me which kind of system I have connected...
