• Digital Audio to 3,5mm?
    12 replies, posted
So basicly I want to find some kind of adaptor from Digital Audio to 3,5mm(for speakers). Sorry if I'm not beeing clear enough. What I'm looking for is something like: [img]http://djnightgmodsv.wippiespace.com/Images/Other/3,5-spdif.jpg[/img] Something to connect in the S/PDIF (Digital Audio) hole that outputs to normal analog 3,5 mm speakers. Basicly I'm thinking of buying a Playstation 3 and I don't know how to make it's sound go to my computer's speakers which only support 3,5mm. Thanks.
So something in the realm of this? [url]http://www.amazon.com/Optical-Female-Digital-Toslink-Adaptor/dp/B000I97H68[/url]

Thanks, I searched google but couldn't find anything of that sort, thanks. [editline]03:13PM[/editline] But where can I find that in a Europe/Worldwide shipper? I mean, Amazon.com only ships to USA. [editline]03:17PM[/editline] Is this it?

EDIT: No, it's not it :| [editline]04:56PM[/editline] Can't find any of that, in a site that ships to Europe. It has been a real pain in the ass looking for this the whole day. [editline]05:02PM[/editline] Maybe I can kinda "hack" it.

Or just use the cable above and use a gender bender on it. You could prolly pick one up at a local electronics store.

The 3.5MM input isn't analogue is it? You can't just have a cable if do, you need a DAC.

What is a DAC? All I see in youtube picture search is like 3,5mm to USB or digital to USB...? The PS3 can do sound thru USB?
A DAC is a [b]D[/b]Igital-to-[b]A[/b]nalogue-[b]C[/b]onverter - and is the only way you are going to get Digital audio from your PS3 to analogue audio for your speakers: [url]http://www.lindy.co.uk/spdif-digital-to-analogue-stereo-audio-converter/70408.html[/url] With [url]http://images.esellerpro.com/2242/I/189/34/FJACK2PH-2M.jpg[/url] (RCA/Phono to 3.5MM socket)

Why don't you use the standard AV cables and buy a RCA to 3.5 adapter? Its not like you will be able to use surround sound.
