7.1 USB SOUND CARD: This External Sound Card adds up to 7.1 channels of audio through a single USB port to your computer This sound card supports 7.1, 5.1 and 2 channel output using 3.5mm jacks, a headphone port, line-in and stereo microphone inputs.

Even so, a separate Blu-Ray player is way cheaper than the HTPC rig I built. Its dual boot to play Blu-Ray disks under Windows. I did build a dual boot HTPC (Windows 8/openSUSE 12.3) and with a Creative 5.1/7.1 sound card and VLC, I can play Dolby Digital in up to 7.1 ES using VLC. The XBMC load works better, but everything not needed has been stripped out of the Linux distribution. When trying to build this in Debian, it can be done for free, but the little thing is way under powered when trying to play just stereo audio.

I have RaspBerry PI and with openELEC/XBMC boot, I think you would have to buy an External DVD player and the license to play DVD's which together already costs more than that DVD player by its self.

It is a bit frustrating but I am going to get this working somehow! Let me say that without a doubt, the least expensive way to play a DVD in 5.1 is to buy a DVD player and connect it directly to your receiver using an Optical and/or to your TV using HDMI connection and then never look back. Even older tutorials for 11.x don't work anymore since pulseaudio/alsa have changed a lot since. I have read that people successfully got AC3 surround working with this card but all methods I found are either old or don't apply to openSUSE. I am going to try the card in openELEC on my Raspberry Pi and see what that does. Ticking AC3 and DTS in Pavucontrol does work to the extend that the Dolby 5.1 soundtrack plays in XBMC but I only have sound coming from the front-left and front-right speakers.

Nvidia Geforce G210 (Closed Source Nvidia drivers) Pulseaudio does not seem to give me the option. It works fine with Digital stereo and I see options for analogue 5.1 but I am unable to get Digital Dolby 5.1 working via the SPDIF.

Since I do not have any more free PCI/PCI-e slots for a "normal" soundcard, a USB solution was needed. I initially tried to get surround via the Nvidia but failed due to the fact that my Samsung TV does not passthrough Dolby (that would be to easy!!) and my LG surround system does not have a HDMI in (I knew I should have bought the more expensive 7.1 system!!) I recently purchased a SoundBlaster X-FI Surround 5.1 pro USB sound card which I was hoping to use to connect my HTPC (a HP Proliant Microserver N36L with added Nvidia Geforce G210 and TSB 6891 TV tuner) to my LG surround sound system via optical SPDIF.
