Just wondering... does the optical output on macbooks provide 5.1 surround or is it purely stereo optical digital???

It's 5.1 if the signal is. In other words you're only going to get surround sound through a program like DVD Player. It won't create a "virtual" surround sound like some sound cards can.
Great thats what i wanted to hear.... thanks!!!!!!!!
