    I was wondering if the 6920g supports fiber optic audio output. I assumed that anything with a 'red light' in the audio port that you can see flash a little when you plug in a normal headset supports toslink optical audio. I have not had any interest in finding out, or use for it until now.

    If anyone can confirm this, that would be awesome. My technical manual doesn't have anything on it. :eek:

    Yes, even the lowly 5720G has that feature.

    With the right video card the 5720G can even output SPDIF audio through the DVI port (with a DVI-to-HDMI cable - DVI and HDMI are identical electrically).
