Hi everyone just a quick question. I have about 25feet from my PC to my HD-TV Vizio GV42L. I would like to connect the two. Under the floor of my house I am going to be using a RAPIDRUN 35Ft PC/Video (UXGA) Runner Cable with a DVI-A Break Away Flying Lead for my video card connection & a HD15 (UXGA) Break Away Flying Lead for the connection to the TV. For the audio I would like to use the flexiJack out on the back of my soundblaster X-Fi Xtrememusic card & connect it to the back of my TV. Both jacks are mini jacks. The problem I am having is finding a diital cable to connect the two for 5.1 sound. All the mini jack cables I am finding that are 25feet or longer are stereo. I believe I need mono mini jacks on each end. I have included pictures of both that I am connecting. Thanks!

Just so everyone knows I found the answer to this question on Sound Blaster's forum. Seems one can not come off the FlexiJack with a mini jack & have 5.1 surround. You have to use the propitetory digital I/O expansion module that Sound Blaster makes & plugg it into the FlexiJack, & then use either a digital coax cable or a toslink cable to connect to an AV reciever to have 5.1 surround.
