sorry Andy but my amp wasn't cheap, to me at least. It's a sony audio video amp which is now discontinued, but sony still produce amps with an optical input/output, but they are over £300.
however the sony sales are on at the moment so you may get a bit off that price. sorry I can't help on how to change the soundblaster from an output to an input, but why not email their technical support for a step by step guide? regards steve green. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Logue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
