OKay you people seem to know a little about audio.. I'm confused about the ps3's audio optical output.. here is my speaker setup: http://us.creative.com/products/prod...?product=10814

as you can see it has one auxiliary input (which i guess is analog and is stereo) but the ps3 only has optical output.. can someone tell me if there are cables that go from optical to auxiliary ??? any link to such a cable would be appreciated , i tried searching on ebay and amazon and couldn't find what i wanted..

The link is broken. What brand and model is the speaker?

what do you think of this receiver:

http://www.soundblaster.com/products...&product=14191

I guess I could connect the speakers 5.1 computer setup to this and then go from the ps3 to this also.. it should work better than my current setup because it will be real 5.1 and not reconverted..

is it still connecting via an optical chord?

because you can't have 5.1 without it, besides an hdmi cable

yeah i guess this is what i'm trying to do: "Optical signal (from ps3) to computer 5.1 signal (for my 5.1 computer speakers)"

Now I am looking for some kind of box that will do this for under $100

the receiver i first posted doesn't do it, i need a decoded instead..
