Hi, I am in the process of getting one of the newly released PowerMacs, and I've started researching the possibilities of surround sound under OS X. I am in doubt as to wether I can continue to use the speaker setup I have now.
I will appreciate any links/suggestions as to what I need to do in order to hook up my setup on my PowerMac. Currently, the setup is a 5.1 System from Cambridge Soundworks, and as far as I can tell it can decode AC-3 digital audio. Is it possible for me to keep this? What PCI cards/companies exist that can help add surround sound to my PowerMac? I have tried researching this on the net, but have been frustrated in my attempts.  Dan |

i have also been looking into this. i have the emagic emi 2/6 (usb with the 6 outs for 5.1) i dont currently have it hooked up to 5.1. but i do get standard stereo playback fine under osX. once cubase SX is released i will then run the 6 outs into a receiver with 5.1 in for monitoring the mix. as far as the ac3 i'm not quite sure, but i hope this helps anyway.
