On a similar line, can someone suggest a cheap PC sound card with digital
out, don't care if its optical or not.


Apollo PCI 5.1 Sound Card, £19.99 from Maplin (code A65BK). It has co-ax and
optical SPDIF in and out.

Or if you prefer an external USB connected device there is the little £17.99
also from Maplin (A56AK) which has optical SPDIF and stereo analogue outputs
(no inputs).

I've had no problems with either.
