Hey guys, how do i take advantage of the audio port on my MBP? Apple says its digital, but do I need a special cable or something? I have always thought optical came in the pentagonal shape, like on the back of my G5.
I miss the days of the G5 and XPS Pentium 4 running side by side as high-end machines.

I think you need one of these: Toslink Optical Socket to 3.5mm Miniplug Adaptor - Cable Universe
