Can I get digital 5.1 S/PDIF out on a G752VT ?

I did try and switch the default settings over to the Realtek Digital output and I was able to get very faint test sounds out of the left and right speakers (using the toslink cable and converter box). But, that’s about as far as I was able to get with it.

I think I’ll do a hasty retreat from this little project. I spent close to $50 on the cables and converter box. I figured I can return those for a refund and put a little bit more cash into it and get a new set of speakers that will work with the three mini plugs on the laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Surro...puter+speakers

Work smarter, not harder…

I sincerely apologize for the cable that I recommended ended up not working. In order to make it up to you, I give you this. Hope you can find one. Cheers!

there is nothing wrong with your recommendation.

We may want to see what others think since I don't fool around with this stuff too much myself, but I don't see any optical/Toslink inputs for those speakers in the link above, so wanted to make sure everyone agrees it's really a good idea.

If you want to get 5.1 output from the notebook, you're going to need to use the optical digital output as far as I know and just wanted to make sure you're aware of this or discuss more with others who know more about it first.

yes!
