How to get great digital audio from a laptop
Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 6:32 pm
I am about to receive a laptop which unfortunately does not have S/PDIF. I wish to run Splash Pro on the Geforce 210M with HDMI video on the no-speaker HDTV, and send digital 5.1 channel audio to the amplifier (through S/PDIF optical or coax). The laptop is a Sony Vaio VPC-CW17FX (Windows 7), but that should not matter.
I would like to know if any of you have a suggestion as to what hardware I should purchase. Perhaps you have used an external box that interfaces via Expresscard/34, USB, firewire, that you know works very well with Splash Pro?
