You have a few options here. The first is a USB Audio module with Optical. This can be either a large and very nice one and cost you the earth, in which case you need to check out what Roland have to offer. Alternatively if you specifically need Audio out and don't need Audio In and Volume controls and analog outs and stuff there is a company in Australia called Xitel which do a USB-MiniDisc Port for about US$60 (sold in the UK, USA, Europe and Aus.) which is a reasonably cheap and very good solution if you need Digital Optical out only and works on anything that takes Digital. The Third Option is to buy a dedicated PCI sound card. These are very expensive and often a bit of overkill for piping MP3 to a home cinema deck. -- -- Mark Benson Any spelling errors are attributed to PEBKAC SilValleyPirate - AIM silicon_valley_pirate_uk - Yahoo!
