    Ave,

    I have a spare home theater that I can put in my office; I wanted to connect audio out from my Alienware M17x-R2 to the Home Theater. The audio port on the Alienware is a 3-Cable output that I've never seen or used before. My home theater accepts an Optic (SPDIF) Toslink input for 5.1 surround sound audio.

    How do I connect this 2-pin output to the Toslink input?

    Thanks!!
