Are there any sound cards that have an output for dolby digital? What I want to do is hook my pc up to my home theater reciever so I can listen to music and watch movies in 5.1!

This is one tha I know of Optical Soundcard. It'll make your framerate in games drop because It seems to rely on your CPU.
