empire29 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I am building a HTPC and have purchased a Asus P5K-VM Motherboard. This MB has Digi-coax audio out, but i would like to have the option to use Optical audio out. Does anyone know of a (preferrably) PCI or USB soundcard/dongle that is compatible with OS X that has atleast Optical audio out (if not both Optical and digi-coax)? I have been unable to find SPIDIF brackets that have Optical/Digi-coax out anywhere -- everywhere I goto has them listed "sold out". Does anyone know if i can use a SPIDIF Optical/Digi-coax out bracket on the P5K-VM (the manual says it has a SPDIF out Header on the MB, but only gives an example of hookin it up to a compatible Asus Soundcard (im assuming for sending audio via HDMI)). Thoughts? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJVaskoC Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I am using Creative SB Live! USB on my hackintosh. SPDIF and Optical out are working. All channels are working. Just "plug & play". It is not nessesary to instal anything.... 100% Compatible Soundcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 If you don't mind a USB solution, the Behringer UCA202 I believe has what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
