That DAC is of no use to you. You need a USB DAC with line level 3.5mm or RCA output. Why do you need a DAC. Just use a cheap adapter cable like I recommended in your other thread.

Becouse when i connect with x2 RCA to 3.5mm only 2 speakers work is there a way to make them all work? I dont want surround fealing i just want music coming from all of them

That would be(if possible) controlled inside the Samsung receiver. Look for all speaker stereo or some sort of mixed audio setting.

Right from the manual:
• When listening to a CD or radio, sound is output to the front
speakers (L/R) only. Select "PRO LOGIC II" by pressing
(Dolby Pro Logic II) on the remote control to use all six speakers.
• Make sure that the DVD disc is 5.1-CH compatible.
• If you set C, SL, and SR to NONE in the speaker mode in the
audio setup of the setup screen, no sound is heard from the
center speaker and the front left and right speakers. Set C, SL,
and SR to SMALL.

If you really want s/pdif, that motherboard does have a header; you just need the output module.

Yes, that's it.

 

[Coolbylaki]

Yes, that's it.

Thanks. One more thing considering Amazon isnt aviliable in my country (or i can pay delivery 50$ which is unreal to pay 80$ for this adapter)

Can this one work from Aliexpress? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32798447755.html

The header is just +5 VDC, Ground, and Data, so as long as the pinout is the same I would expect it to work. And, at $10, if it doesn't work it isn't a disaster.
