I've got a graphics card with HDMI output that takes S/PDIF input that it passes on through the HDMI connection. Unfortunately, my motherboard doesn't have S/PDIF output. I'd like to get a PCI sound card that supports raw passthrough of audio via S/PDIF to get around this issue. I need to be able to connect a 2-pin S/PDIF wire to the sound card. Can anyone recommend sound cards (preferably available on Newegg) that would be able to accomplish this on a Linux system?
I'd like to get the cheapest one that will get the job done. Some of the following don't appear to have the 2-pin connector on them; is that normal for some cards supporting S/PDIF output?
Thanks!
