Chaintech AV-710 @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829120103
So I recently upgraded to an sli board that does not have optical audio out. I use optical audio out to hook up to my Logitech Z-680s for when I play divx/dvd stuff through my pc on my tv.
I dont really have a lot of money to throw down on some fancy new creative labs product. It seems like you cant get optical audio out on a creative product unless you spend over $100 unless you use one of their usb external options.
I figure for $25 this card has some features that are pretty good for the price. I read some reviews and it seems to be pretty decent for music playback which is good as I do listen to a fair amount of mp3s as well. I have read mixed reviews about the surround support though. Will this thing get the job done for divx/dvd playback on my z-680s?
Also I use these 5.1 headphones Kinyo KY-100 http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4013853 for gaming and music listening and occasionally dvd playback when I need to be quiet they have an amp and stuff. I am not an audiophile or anything like that, I feel they sound pretty good compared to my old headphones.
