    I got my new PC a couple of weeks ago and just realized that it has a optical/headphone jack just like on the Macbook Pros. I was wondering if all I needed was an Toslink like this one: Amazon.com: Digital Optical (Toslink) Female / 3.5mm Male: Electronics and just connect it to my optical cable then to my device. If any of you use it, is it good or worth it?



    Sorry if any of you are mad that I posted this in here, but hardly any non Apple computers have this and I figured some of you have used it/ know about it.

    I think your best bet would be to check with the manufacturer. Your chances of getting an accurate answer is pretty low otherwise.

    Do the specs on the machine say say anything about it having the capability? If its possible I dont think they would hide it. if you just think it looks like it does I have a Rolls Royce to sell you. :p
