I think so....now that you mention it, that card looks EXACTLY like my SB Live 5.1 card. I mean identical. Mine didn't come with that particular cable or the remote though, I got the Live drive and a white remote with my Sound Blaster .

Detailed Review

Summary:

The ABIT Home Theatre AU10 is rather a budget solution for not the weakest PC. The main advantage is its price. 6 analog outputs and a remote control ? such a combo can be found only on the Platinum 5.1 at 4 times higher price. The AU10 will suit not very exacting user which plans: listen to music in MP3 format, sing karaoke with the soft-synthesizer S-YXG50, playback DVD movies with the supplied WinDVD player controlled with the remote control. In general, it's rather good variant for a home computer system. Anyway, it's for you to make a choice.

For HTPC, this should work nicely. That's a better remote that many...

w/o optical out or digital out, how does one connect to the receiver for htpc?

 

[SoulAssassin]

No optional optical output!

That's the only thing that killed it for me.
