Optical cable input

Taytotom83 · Aug 5, 2014

Hello,

I have recently bought a tritton 720+ headset, and i'm having trouble getting decoder box installed. The installation guide said I had to run an optical cable from the box to my pc, but it never mentioned (or showed) where to put it. I probably need a soundcard, and i'd appreciate it if you guys can give some advice about what to buy to get this working.

Thats an optical input/output do you have one on the back of your pc?

"Compatible with: Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3 "

The answer will depend on your PC, whether or not it has TOSLink optical out. What make and model do you have?
Also, it specifies that it also comes with a USB cable. Can you connect it to the PC with the USB cable instead?

I do not, and that's the problem :s

Yes it is sorry to say.

As for the compatibility, I now have it installed with the regular green/pink mic and sound pins. That works fine, but tritton promises the quality will greatly improve If i use the decoder box

Usb would power it but i think you would still need something else like an optical audio cable or an aux cable to send the sound.

Hello,

What motherboard do you have? Maybe it has an SPDIF header and you could use something like this:

I've got the asus m5a97 LE R2.0, and it has the SPDIF header, so this should work.

The problem is, those cards aren't solde from where I live and shipping from america is hella expensive. I've found this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Optical-Toslink-Plug-3-5mm-Adapter/dp/B003PU2Z1O/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_img_y
If I were to put this adapter in the audio input of my PC, would that work and have the same effect?

Unfortunately it will not resolve anything; that adapter is used for combo plugs jack + optical, mainly in laptops and some audio cards (my Xonar DX has such an adapter).

Please go to a computer shop or local market, they should have such an adapter (ASUS motherboards usually came with SPDIF adapters).

If you cannot find an adapter, buy an audio card (internal or external, which suits you best).
