"Soundblaster" was such an 80s/90s name for a computer part. (lemmy.world)

I think SPDIF is being phased out because it needs to use compression to do surround sound.

That's disappointing, as one of the advantages of SPDIF is no ground loops between the PC and the receiver/amp. Maybe that's not really as much of a problem now, but it solved that for me years ago and I've used it ever since.

Then again, I don't have a surround setup, simple stereo is good enough.
