Hi All,

I would very much like to hook my surround sound system up to my PC if possible. Below are the details of both my PC and the surround sound. I'm hoping its as easy as buying a Digital Optic Cable (If thats the right term?) and connecting the two as the two devices appear to have these slots available.

Grateful if anybody could clear this up for me and point me in the right direction of a decent cable that will do the job for me?

DESKTOP: Acer M3800 Tower Desktop, Core 2 Quad Q8300, 4GB RAM, 750GB HDD, DVDRW, ATI 5450, Windows 7
Home Premium 64bit

Close up picture of Back Panel (Mine is same machine as this but next model up with 4GB RAM):

SURROUND: Samsung 5.1 HT - Z320

Thanks in advance.
