    Hi
    I've just bought an XPS1530 with the integrated Soundblaster Audigy Advanced HD audio but there is only a couple of headphone sockets. How do I connect it to my surround amp? The amp has optical, co-axial & phono(RCA) inputs but no HDMI. Do I need to buy a USB sound card like the Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1?
    Hope someone has the answer as Dell don't!!
    Regards
    Roland

    The 'integrated' Audigy Advanced HD is actually purely software. It's still using the same onboard Sigmatel HD Audio, which has no digital output. The only solution is a USB or ExpressCard soundcard.
