i'm from Maryland, no one can beat me.

Are there any affordable sound cards that can do multichannel (6 channels or more) audio output over spdif (digital coax or fiber optic)? I think M-Audio's Revolution is the only one I remember reading that could, but I don't know anything else about the product. I've recently upgraded from my beloved nForce 2 board that has the SoundStorm chip on it to a board that can support a socket 939 processor.


Also, has anyone ever RMAed a product to ZipZoomFly? They sent me a bad motherboard but charged me a restocking fee when I sent it back. I'm furious.

Depends, do you just want the digital output, or do you want the Dolby Digital Live like soundstorm had? If you just want the optical output, the Chaintech AV-710 can do it, and it's only $25. If you want the DDL, they're more expensive. Auzentech's XMystique does it, currently it's $65 AR at newegg. There may be other DDL cards, I just don't know them off the top of my head.

Yeah, I want the 6 channel Doly Digital output over fiber optic or digital coax. How are the XMystique's drivers?
