[QUOTE="Stéphane Lenclud, post: 1112863, member: 140174"] Actually some sound cards out there do a very good job at mixing your audio through their optical S/PDIF output. See [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/dolby-digital-live.128646/']Dolby Digital Live[/URL], that makes optical output from those sound card the premium audio solution for your PC. Obviously if you already have an A/V Receiver that does a good job at mixing your HDMI audio then Sound Cards, Dolby Digital Live and S/PDIF are of no use to you. Personally I'm most impressed by [URL='http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/playbar']Sonos PLAYBAR[/URL] and its optical input solution as it spares me the trouble of using an A/V Receiver or other HDMI switch, the only box in my A/V rack is now my PC :) [/QUOTE]
