Does this output 5.1 surround sound through the HDMI out or coax out?

Yes to both. Note though, live TV will be output in 5.1 for both HDMI and Coax. For some reason however recorded TV will only output 5.1 from the Coax output !! No idea why, but all the other duplicates of this box (Homework, iView) all work the same way.

Yes, that is correct. You can't send the output over HDMI, only via the 5.1 analog outputs.

Are there audio cables that are optical one one end and coaxial on the other (my receiver prefers coaxial)? or is that an oxymoron?

In short: No.There's a LAN/Cat5 port, single HDMI, and an RCA style, coaxial audio output. Those 3 are it.

It has a switch where you can choose the audio output between 2.0 stereo, 5.1 or passthrough. I use it to feed my DTS receiver and I'm getting 5.1 surround sound through SPDIF, and HDMI feeds my projector. So the answer to your question is Yes.

Turning surround 5.1 to stereo work great. I run my TV audio to my stereo receiver as an option for movies or sports anyway so I didn't notice any difference

I haven't really used 5.1 surround, but I think for the jacks that supply sub, left surround right s, center, right and left front spekers you need to put a stereo splitter on the three jacks on the card. I'm not for sure but I know each of the three jacks supply two of the audio, that's all I know about surround. U might want to read the manual about which jack does what

I have surround sound and all audio including comes through my speakers by way of my receiver. Where or how would I hook these up?

No. This is going from RGB/SpDIF/Coax input to HDMI output. I think you'd need to be going in the other direction. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/E-More-Component-Converter-Supporting-Coaxial/dp/B00T2MLNBM or http://www.amazon.com/BestFire-Component-Converter-Supporting-Coaxial/dp/B00N9UEVNK

I don't think it has a coax output because that wouls default the purpose of the unit. I use it as a coax input from the wall with a RCA output to my tv.

Yes, that is what I use it for. My setup is from Raspberry Pi HDMI Out to AGPTek, then from AGPTek to my TV and APGTek to my receiver. This allows me to have 5.1 surround sound on my receiver.

i have plasma "optical out" and i have my receiver with 'RCA input only" with 5.1 Speaker out, do this adapter work to have 5.1 surround sound. My receiver is only RCA Input, and i want 5.1 out, NOT Stereo?.

Yes, if you connect the coax to the coax in port the box will use the HDMI out port to broadcast the signal

Outputs are limited to one HDMI port and one RCA video & sound ports, plus the cables for surround sound speakers

Anyone who would ask this question should not be tinkering with the insides of their computer. OK, I got lured in by Martin's comments about 7.1 sound. First off, get some local help. Not going to explain what coaxial is. Yes your recvr has two coaxial inputs so this card is applicable. See my post attesting to 5.1 sound, & curious whether 7.1 works also. Put a blue ray disk in your blue ray computer player, & find out. Thank us for the help by publishing your results.

Per Owners Manual - has coax antenna input. Audio coax digital output is a separate thing.

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.
