Is this possible? I use the mic very often for skype, yet i need the digital coaxial out to connect to my ZERO dac.

I was thinking of using the AD_EXT pinout... Is it possible to simply connect the pins to an RCA jack, and use that as a digital coaxial out? I've attempted it once but it doesn't seem to work. Am i missing something?

Thanks all.

I would like to know this too, since I also need the microphone yet am interested in purchasing an external non-USB DAC. Anyone?

I'm not sure about the OP's question, but you could circumvent the Mic+Digital Out issue if you have onboard audio on your motherboard by plugging your mic into your onboard sound card and setting the default recording device to your onboard in Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices.

If you don't have onboard audio you could always buy a cheap $10 sound card and install it for mic functions.

Hey, thanks! I wonder why I didn't think of that myself. This probably saved me a good bit of money, assuming that the onboard mic input will prove to work alright.
