Digital audio output is done either via coaxial or optical SP/DIF connection...you'd need to have the connector for either of those outputs installed in the back of your system, and connected to the appropriate pin-outs on your system board. While there are probably digital speakers, you'd normally use these connections to connect to a sound system, much like you'd do with a DVD/BluRay player, or your TV's set top box. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscr...@bubbanfriends.org -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
