Hey guys,
I've got a system together running Beta 2 of Atlantis to an HDTV and a surround sound system. As of now, I'm just running from a mini to RCA Y cable out of the integrated card to the surround system and having to run the system in stereo. I've been looking into getting a sound card so I can run optical out of it into my receiver and actually get Dolby Digital/DTS out of my PC. I'm sort of lost in looking for cards that aren't too expensive and have the features that I want. Is there a popular inexpensive card for playback of avi/mkv files in surround I should be looking for?
Thanks in advance.
