I've finally made the transition, my PC is long gone and wow does this Imac f'in rock.
Excitement aside. I'm trying to get 5.1 surround sound on this thing. I'm aware that the Imac is capable of it through its digital out so, I'm guessing I need a 5.1 amplifier or soemthing like that. Not to sure on the terms. I've already looked at products from Philips, Creative. Both intended for PCs. I've looked at FireWave from Griffin Technology and according to reviews a program needs to be running to have 5.1 surround sound going. Which sucks. I want some that you can just install the drivers for and the sound will just come out of my speakers with anyone extra stuff like having a program run.
So anyone manage to have anything like that? I just wanna watch movies and hear my final cut work in surround sound. Help please.
