Any of you guys use optical connections?

So since I upgraded my home theatre, I've been using optical connections for my TV cable box, my PC and my xbox 360. So much easier to use, autodetects dolby, DTS etc, really well, especially off the PC.

Highly recommended, do away with that RCA and 3.5mm shit.

Nah, I use HDMI for the total package. I tried optical once back when using component, but couldn't get the damn receiver to detect it. After reading reviews at newegg on different optical cables, I think it was due to me not realizing to take off the clear caps on either end.

I only have like two optical connections and one unit that does optical out, so it's 360 only. But DAMN, is it simple.

Yeah, it's too easy!
I went and got a new sound card because I wasnt happy with the onboard, and fuck music sounds good now.
