I built a computer earlier this year and it has an M-Audio Delta 66 sound card for Pro Tools. It runs Windows 7 x64. I will be upgrading my home theater in January, and so I'm wanting to use my old 5.1 Dolby Digita/DTS receiver and old speakers for my computer setup. My receiver does not have HDMI audio, only video passthrough. It does however have optical IN and that is what I currently use for my PS3 for movies and games.

I need a sound card that has optical out. I will use it as a secondary sound card that I will switch on when playing games... and possibly watching movies if I ever get a BD drive. I'm hoping to spend less than $200 if possible.

Suggestions?
 
Well.. apparently my GA-P35C-DS3R has optical out, so I guess I don't need a sound card afteral. Are there any games that use Dolby Digital or DTS?
