DVD on computer to TV & Audio through Pioneer receiver

I have one S/PDIF Digital output on the back of my DVD decoder card.  I would like to connect that to my Pioneer Receiver.  I want the sound from my computer to go through the receiver and the video to go from my computer to my TV.  How can I do that?

I don't have the RCA output on my soundcard.  Only a "jack" that you would put a headset in (It actually goes to another amp)

You are going to have to get a cable that has that jack type on one end and the RCA connecters on the other end(a converter cable...) and you will have to swith the cable based on whether you want to hear it through the receiver or you speakers...Or you can get a splitter which converts that one jack to two...All these cables are available from Radio Shack and are fairly cheap...

So, if I go to radio shack, they should have what I need?  Or, is it something that I would have to put together myself?

Radio Shack should have eveything you need...  No assembly required...  You just have to run the cables properly...

My soundcard came with the headphone-jack-to-two-RCA-plugs cable...
