Hi

I am afraid that you will need to use some other connection to import the digital sound. That could be a sound card as you have suggested.

You dont need to buy a sound card, Here is a link on the Gigabyte site that has what you need http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/accessory.aspx?cg=2

Yes that would be one of the cheapest ways of getting what you need.

S/N : 12CR1-1SPINO-11R  SPDIF In and Out Cable and this will work on my GA-990fxa-ud5 ?

Just need to find one in the UK

Your motherboard would seem to accept this bracket ok. Try ordering it from your usual Gigabyte retailer.

My motherboard only has 2 pin spdif in so this bracket is no good. I will need to get a pci sound card with spdif in.

If that is correct then my first suggestion of getting a sound card is the only easy choice. :-\
