w500 has audio optical output?

#1 Post by jwid » Mon May 31, 2010 10:44 pm

I can't determine as to whether W500 has a combo analog and optical audio output through its headphone jack, can anyone confirm this?
and also, does mini adv dock 2504 audio jack has it as well?

cheers

The advanced minidock has an SPDIF out port, but I do not believe it is optical...it is coax.

i see then,
is there anyway for a w500 to drive 5.1 speakers or HTS, without adding an additional/external 5.1 enabled sound card?
