Thanks for the input. The s/pdif splitter is closer to what I am after. The problem I have with that is that the sound will be the same on both speaker sets. I would like the ability to have media center running in the living room on it's own sound, and me playing a game on the other 5.1 system (from one computer still).

The optical and analog ports will both produce sound from the motherboard audio. Since my living room setup has taken the only s/pdif output from the onboard sound, I am left with the 7.1 analog still. Is there not an adapter of some sort (can't find for the life of me) that will take the analog output from the htpc and convert it to coax or optical digital for me??? Looking forward to some more feedback here!

Toslink cost not an issue with ebay. I have 50 foot dvi's hdmi's and toslink now added to the mix for cheap cheap cheap on ebay!
