it's my media center pc. The onboard sound card is 7.1, with an spdif optical output.
I bought the pc specifically for watching blu ray movies... but mostly i've been listening to music on it.
My video card has an audio out, actually. it's an ATi HD 2600, and it sends audio and video through HDMI. My stereo receiver doesn't have HDMI ports, though... so i haven't been using it.
Is HDMI the best audio quality now? or does optical still hold the lead? I'm curious now whether I should update my sound card or home stereo.
