I am planning to setup a HT and use my Laptop as media source. I want to know how to connect the laptop to the AVR?
My laptop provides SPDIF out thru headphone jack (3.5mm/ mini jack). I have following queries:
1. How to get the output?
Is there a mini jack to coaxial/ optical adapter or cable available? If yes where can I find it in Bangalore (or anywhere) and how much will it cost?
2. My laptop does not support 5.1 channels output in analogue, will it support
5.1 channel in digital out. If not how to get 5.1 (or 7.1) channel digital out? One way is to use external sound card, how much will it cost? Is there other way?
Thanks
