Solution Tabris DarkPeace Jul 4, 2013 Probably not, look for coaxial and fibre connections on your motherboard.

A typical optical (fiber) connection would have a plastic door or a plastic plug you would have to pull out. There are of course other connection methods but you would need to provide the model of the receiver and what soundcard you have. Upvote 0 Downvote
