Calling Sound Guru
I have an Intel Bad Axe mobo and I use the onboard audio. I was using an RCA converter to put sound to my home theater receiver for sound. Then today, I tried using the optical output (previously I could never get it to work) and now it does, and I think it sounds better. Is this just wishful thinking or technically should it sound better?

I thought it did but I wasn't sure if I was just crazy.

Optical should sound better. Do you have digital coaxial? That should sound very nice too, and it's cheaper.

With good things come bad? Now that the optical works, I can't use the headphones from the front audio jacks, only teh back and thats too far away.
