    SPDIF on Laptop & Surround Speakers

     
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6841 laptop. The spec sheet and Realtek control panel list an SPDIF port. Supposedly it's integrated into the headphone jack.

    How do I connect this port to a set of surround speakers? Do I need an adapter?

    Also, do you know of any good 5.1 surround systems that have SPDIF input instead of the usual 3x 1/8" mini-jack?

    See if this helps. You need a 3.5mm to Toslink adaptor.

    Pretty much any high end surround speakers should work, such as the Klipsch Promedia.
