Hi Brent. The second optical out is one of those philips, sony spdif things I think.

I guess they give you another one to record from or something. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Logue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

This card has two optical out's and a line in, but no optical line in. It's quite a nice device and I have Creative 5.1 speakers to go with it. I think it cost about £80.00 Best wishes.
