Hi I have a soundbar with optical that I want to use for my PC but I'm curious if I should use my asus m5a99x evo r2.0 onboard optical or my asus xonar dg card optical? I'd like to get the best quality possible with this setup or perhaps buy another style of sound card? I'm ok without 5.1 as my room is wonky and not square, more open concept.

The soundbar is vizio 2.1 sb3621n-e8 so its capable of Dolby Digital®, DTS Studio Sound™, DTS TruSurround™, DTS TruVolume™
