Soundcard to Digital Coaxial How ?

[cjob68]

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone else has found a converter to go from the 1/8 digital out on a PC to the Digital Audio Coaxial on a reciever ? I checked Radio Shack locally and they didn't seem to have anything.
If anyone else has done this ( or even to Optical ) please post a link of where you got the product.

Thanks
Jason

a 1/8'' mono plug to RCA mono might work?

At least that's what my 4.1 surround came with... you're just going from plug to RCA anyway.

What you need is a mono mini to standard rca converter. It is available from Radio Shack. I have one in my house and it works perfect for this. The other cables mentioned with links are a mini to toslink optical. First your receiver needs a toslink input and second, going from standard to optical has no advantage other than costing much more money ;-)

Bruce is right on. I have a Audigy 2 doing digital out to coax via a regular super cheap $4.50 mini jack to rca cable from the shack.
