Hello,
I'm new to this forum and macs. I've been a proud mini owner for many months now, and now I've taken the plunge. I ordered a 2 Ghz dual G5!! I'm stoked and can't wait to get it. I've got one curious question that I was looking for help with.
I want to run an optical (toslink) signal from my Xbox, to the digital input on the G5, and then run another optical cable to my Harman Kardon home theatre receiver. The point is to be able to listen to iTunes AND the action on the Xbox at the same time.
A friend of mine does it with his PC and a creative sound solution. I've tried with the mini while running the M-audio transit with no luck.
Can this be accomplished "out of the box"? Is there a software solution that can do it? Or do I need to buy an external or PCI sound card that can pull it off?
Any insight would be appreciated. I did many searches on google and on mac rumors, but couldn't find anything that was close to what I want to do.
Thanks in advance!
Ben
