[QUOTE=What Exit?]  
I am trying to help my brother hook up his new PC to is TV system. He has a Bose receiver with many jack options. The PC appears to have a Digital Audio out Jack with an RCA style jack. I tried a standard RCA cable out of this jack to the Bose Receiver’s Digital Audio In for Cab-Sat (Cable - Satellite), we got no sound out. Does Digital Audio require a special cable? I have never dealt with Digital audio before.

The Computer is an HP with Vista Media loaded. I am going to send him home with a pair of cheap PC speakers to test the basic audio and ensure HP didn’t send the PC out badly loaded.

A quick note from **MannyL** about the spywareinfo site:

Apparently the bad guys have taken over that site. It’s gone rogue. Hence all the deleted links in this thread.

The new site is [http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/](http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/)

Thanks **Manny**!
