Hello, as per my subject title, i'm looking for an SPDIF output connector for my laptop. I'm currently using an ASUS G73JH-A1 Windows 7 Home premium. I understand that my video card can output 5.1 audio via HDMI, but I have no splitters (if there are even any). My laptop has no expresscard slot or any other slot. Does anyone know of say a good USB sound card, or does someone know a better way to connect my laptop to my 5.1 surround sound receiver?
