Is it possible to do this? I know the Macbook has a digital output, but the Macrumors guide for setting it up is ridiculously outdated. Does anyone have experience setting it up, preferably someone running a mid-2007 Macbook?
Got a tip for us?

1. pick up a mini toslink to toslink optical cable, like this one
2. use the mini end in your standard 1/8" output jack, and the toslink end in your digital reciever
3. switch the audio output settings to digital

Is it easy to switch the audio output settings to digital, or do I have to do something like bring up the Terminal and do a bunch of commands?
