For my htpc project, i have short listed on Gigabyte's GA-B75M-D3H.
This motherboard has an onboard hdmi, which will be used for display. I need a optical out, since my avr only supports optical in at this moment.
Hence need optical out, to output Dolby/Dts 5.1.
looking closely, this motherboard has a spdif header on the board.
can i get optical out using this header by using the following audio bracket
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gigabyte-12CR1-1SPOUT-03R-RCA-SPDIF-Audio-Bracket-/260743861039
problem looks like the motherboard has only 2pins for spdif, where in, this bracket has 3 pins.
please advise how can i get optical out using this bracket and the motherboard.
If someone has done it , please share your experiences.
Also please advise if there is a better suggestion for getting the optical out connection from this motherboard.
