Hey guys, first post, I just now found your forum.
I'm working with a hearing aid center on their calibration machine, its a laptop that runs the setup and it needs to be mobile because they move it to an other location once a month for some charity thing. Anyway, the laptop doesn't have 5.1 out, just stereo. I ordered a USB to Coaxial box from Amazon for about 30 bucks but when I got it in, it reported itself in device manager as just a generic C-Media 2.0 channel audio device. I was under the impression that *any* TOSlink or Coaxial was always at least 4.0 audio, if not 5.1.
What they have in the sound booth is four speakers and a sub. The only digital connection is Coaxial.
TL;DR: I need a link to a small box (say 3" by 3" by 1", that's a rough estimate) that will fit inside a cable management box that I can connect USB at one end, and coaxial at the other, and output 5.1, for under $60 bucks.
Can anyone help me?
