Here is my problem, I am using the optical s/pdif out for the setup in my living room where one of the 5.1 systems is and it's working great. My other 5.1 system is for the computer/gaming room. Is there anyway to hook up the 2nd 5.1 system in my computer room? I am thinking I need some type of analog (from the ip35's 7.1 outputs) to s/pdif dongle/splitter/adaptor or something?? Any ideas? Here is a picture of what I have to work with on the sound system.

The IP35-Pro has optical in and out. Why can't you use that just like your other setup?
