Connect a optical "spdif" audio sound bar to analog sound connectors
My daughter just bought a PowerSpec G440 PC. It only has the pink, green, blue, orange, grey, and black analog sound connections. Her sound bar only has an optical connection. Is there any way to make that work?

Hey Jeff,
The best way to get that to work, is to get a sound card for your computer that has an optical sound out, such as this one.
The motherboard in that system does have extra PCIe ports for this card. If you need help with the installation, the service department at your local Micro Center should be able to install it for you. If you don't already have an optical cable, you can also pick one of those up there too.
