How can I transmit audio from my PC to 5.1 Surround Sound?

Hello,
I'm building a computer and need to connect it to my 5.1 channel surround sound. I need a standard other than HDMI. If you can give me any info, that would be great. Also, if you know a PCI card that transmits audio via fiber optic that would be great.
Thanks,
sqrlklr

Answers:
Many motherboards come with TOSLINk (fiber optic) and Coaxial (Copper digital) outputs.
If your motherboard does not have the proper digital out, you'll need to buy this:
