Does the MSI X58M motherboard support Digital Audio output?

Question

Does anyone own a MSI X58M mainboard? Are there any digital audio connectors on the board? Is it possible to send the audio digitally to my speakers?

Answer 1

Yes its possible, you need an SPDIF bracket, available from:

Answer 2

The term you're looking for in the product specifications is S/PDIF, which is the psudo-standard for sending digital audio to an amplifier.

Nowhere is S/PDIF mentioned on their website, nor can I find any reference to S/PDIF on any reputable websites, so I'm going to guess no.

Usually S/PDIF is provided by a breakout cable from the mobo on these kinds of boards, and finding someone who sells the breakout cable is often an exercise in futility as well...
