So im going to ask the question!<BR /><BR />I have optical out and was wondering what i can connect it too? Ive looked at soundcards etc but i dont see the point as the VAIO as ample soundcard power anyway and from what i have seen in music hardware stores, normal amps dont have optical connections?<BR /><BR />Does this mean were stuck with being full home cinema kit or another PC made soundcard/Processor?<BR /><BR />Im only looking at improving speaker quality of music so just want to see how i can do that!<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 05 Feb 2005 21:23:25 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-out-on-desktops/m-p/152040#M33958 JWES 2005-02-05T21:23:25Z Re: OPTICAL OUT ON DESKTOPS https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-out-on-desktops/m-p/152043#M33959 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>As you say, the optical out is so you can connect your PC to home cinema systems for 5.1/7.1 sound depending on the model.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 05 Feb 2005 21:36:56 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-out-on-desktops/m-p/152043#M33959 kee-lo_ 2005-02-05T21:36:56Z Re: OPTICAL OUT ON DESKTOPS https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-out-on-desktops/m-p/152045#M33960 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi,<BR /><BR />You can also use it to record to Mini Disc if you wish, optical also carries normal stereo so you can use it with a large home amp for music on HD or CD,<BR /><BR />you could also use it with an external sound card as your PC audio out if you so desire!!<BR /><BR />I is a bit outdated now since USB audio came along!<BR /><BR />C<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 05 Feb 2005 23:42:14 GMT https://community.sonylatvija.com/t5/pcs-accessories/optical-out-on-desktops/m-p/152045#M33960 chris_lewis 2005-02-05T23:42:14Z
