A Thumbs up to Cheap Dynex 5.1 Sound Card

[littlalex]

Howdy all - I've spent the better part of two days making a coax optical connector for my MB's SPDIF header and trying to get it to work -- with not a
db emerging through my AV receiver.

Going through my "junk" hardware boxes for a another header to try I came across a Dynex 5.1 sound card that is ubiquitous on Ebay for about $15.00.

DL'd the latest Envy24 drivers and clicked a couple of settings in the control panel and voila! Lovely digital sound all around 8^). It ain't audiophile quality but I bet good enough for 90% of us.

Highly recommended if you're looking for a cheap digital sound solution.

No, I don't have any connection with BestBuy
