Greetings,
As the title says, I would like to connect my headphones to my pc via optical cable to get the surround sound, but I only have the jack 3.5, I can't find the optical in.
Any solutions? Thank you

    I don't think the built-in sound card of helios 300 supports surround sound(most likely only stereo) and that is why there is a single 3.5mm output.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
