The ATI Radeon AIW has a digital coaxial AC-3 sound output. This being the case, do I need a sound card with my HTPC?


On a slightly different note, is there a noticable difference between AC-3 5.1 and DTS 5.1 sound?

No you don't need a sound card if you connect a coaxial cable out to your 5.1 digital amp and set the ATI player's audio tab to enable S/PDIF.

I have this done and it works fine for DD 5.1, but question... Is there a way I can have all of the sounds from my computer sent through that coax digital out from the AIW??? As in no use for a sound card ever, just send all audio signals out from the AIW straight to my reciever.
