Default Surround Sound w/ Home Theater....

How do I get surround sound from my home theater system to my sound card when the system has digital fiber optics and the red/white cables...?

Are you saying you want to get the sound from your computer outputted into your surround system?

Know if you have SPDIF Sockets on your mobo?
What input/outputs does your soundcard allow

Do you have a Coxial output on your Surround System.

Note that all of these appear to be headphone jacks but one is a Digital I/O, one is an Aux In, one's a mic, and then the three standard surround sound jacks, the first being, i think a stereo jack...
