I'm wondering if you guys could help me with a setup issue.

I currently have a PC hooked up to a Bose Lifestyle via HDMI from a Radeon HD 6670. However, this setup doesn't allow me to have 5.1 surround sound and instead "simulates" stereo, but it doesn't really sound very good...

I've recently bought and installed an Asus Xonar DS 7.1 and was wondering what the best way to connect this sound card to my Bose Lifestyle hub? I was initially thinking Optical but that doesn't look to be the best method (from some rough Googleing).

Any help would be appreciated!
