[QUOTE="croak, post: 847820, member: 361"] Reading the card spec I read it as follows. Combo socket is a digital Optical out socket Electrical out socket is analogue for rear channels. I suspect perhaps the confusion is the SPDIF OPTICAL. It has become fashionable to call optical optical or toslink and co ax spdif. They are in fact both spdif. Spdif is the language of the code coming out, irrespective of the carrier being electrical or optical. Spdif just means Sony Philips Digital inter face and refers to the codec. Just like DTS or Dolby Digital is a codec that can be carried optically or digitally. [/QUOTE]
