Hi there!
I just got a 2nd hand TurtleBeach PX4 today for about $150. I tried connecting it to my pc but I realised that a Digital Optical Audio Jack is needed. My motherboard does not have a jack for it so I can't use it. Is there a way for me to connect it to my PC?
I'd like to avoid spending a lot to make my PC compatible.


If I can't fix it, I'm willing to sell it for about $110.
(Don't buy it unless you're using it for your gaming consoles or know that your pc is compatible)

Try getting a usb optical audio adapter? Or a used sound card as mentioned by Goodshot.

Soundcard with Dolby Digital Live

(Read through the manual, looks like DTS isn't supported.)

Thanks for all the suggestions!
I don't plan on getting a soundcard because it's a little to costly for me.
I searched around online and found this item called:
Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Micro II USB Analog & Digital Audio Adapter
by Turtle Beach

(Can't post a link because of restrictions, sorry!)

Will this work?
