Hi Stephen. I've got an AV unit in the room next door which has satellite television on it. The Engineer has plugged in 2 Optical cables for me. One for audio out and one for audio in. I was hoping to play music and audio described movies from my computer through the wall to the av unit. I was also wanting to record on my computer, using GoldWave, AD movies that may be showing on the TV. Unfortunately, the sound card I purchased only has an optic out and a line in. Although I could still do what I wanted, I thought that the optic connection would give me better quality sound reproduction.
Best wishes. Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Guerra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.
