I have a ASUS Xonar DGX sound card, and an older surround sound system that currently I can only use for 2.0 sound, through a 1/8 to dual RCA to receiver, but my receiver has a place for digital in (coax) (and component cables) (nothing else), so I'm wondering if I can make it support 5.1 that the receiver has.

Photos of the back panels would help a lot, as would a link or mention of what the reciever model is. If I was asking the question, I'd also include a link to the product page of the sound card. Don't forget, not everyone has the same setup you do, but if they do, knowing what all the gear in play is would be good. – Journeyman Geek – 2015-08-23T00:45:42.370
Can you edit your question to provide specifics on what exact model this “older surround sound system” actually is? – JakeGould – 2015-08-23T00:50:58.920
"component" cables? You mean component video, or...? If you mean discreet audio channel inputs, the Xonar probably uses the standard colours - Green for L/R, Black for Centre/Sub & Orange for Rear L/R. You need 3 mini-jack to [presumably] RCA cables – Tetsujin – 2015-08-23T05:37:39.550
well my receiver doesn't have multi channel input. – user3117152 – 2015-09-02T22:12:06.477
