Not sure about "better" sound, I just want it to correctly output 5.1 channels on my 5.1 speakers. I'll get sound through HDMI on the T240 but the speakers are really :turd:y on that monitor.

Not on my soundcard. I got this Fatality soundcard a month after it was released. The only optical input is through the front I/O bay.
