you are correct cristi72. thanks and now i feel dumb lol. but im still curious about my second question in that same post. will that card be compatible with my reciever? please keep in mind that if i do buy a sound card i would prefer it to be a quality build and good sound quality so i dont...

well correct me if im wrong but wouldnt i need a sound card that has an spdif out and dolby compatibility to match my reciever?

well im not to knowlegable on audio but as far as i know my reciever is dolby digital, prologic 2 and digital sound processor compatible. ive read up on a few things such as ddl dts and dolby formats. so if i wanted to buy a sound card for my current pc and reciever, what should i buy or look...

i realize this as it clearly tells me all my audio outputs besides the 3.5mm jacks DONT support surround sound. and my reciever works fine with an xbox 360 and dvd player and blueray player. i just ran a self test and all speakers are getting power. so its not the reciever. i understand that the...

thats possible but shouldnt my realtek driver and windows sound options recognize the hdmi and optical outputs as surround sound compatible? it recognizes the 3.5mm jacks to be compatible and nothing is even plugged into them. im going to try your first option now but is there a way to implement...

ironsounds, yes its also chosen as default by my realtek panel.

i updated my origional post and added a link to the pic you want. sorry if its kind of hard to see it.

minstedmaz. yes, my reciever has both input and output hdmi, but i have tried that once before and it didnt work. i will try it again though. and about your second option, my reciever does not have rca inputs for surround sound, only stereo. it has optical, coaxial,hdmi and two seperate rca...

yes it does show 2 and both are lit up. one "realtek digital output" and one "realtek digital output(optical). i have the second one set as the default audio device and defualt communications device. in the realtek panel it does not give me an option to setup surround sound, and in the windows...

yes ive already done both of those. realtek digital output optical is my default audio device in the windows sound panel and i have chosen padded cell in the realtek panel as my environment, it seems to fit my environment. any other solutions?

yes... and thats my current setup. but if you read the post it states, realtek options and windows sound options dont recognize the optical output on the mobo to be surround sound compatible, only the x3 hd 3.5mm jacks are recognized for 5.1 compatibility. do you have a solution to make the...

if anyone was wondering the answer to this question is... a solder point on the mobo connecting the sata connecter for the hdd was was completly broken and when i put the cover back on it would push the sata connector off the mobo just enough to make the hdd unreadable. which ultimately led to...

ive been trying on and off for months to get my pc to play in 5.1 surround sound. all my drivers are up to date. all my equipment and components are working properly and tested. ill start off with a list of relative information. my equipment and components asus sabertooth z97 mark 1 mobo...

so no one has any clue? there has to be someone that has had a similar issue or even someone with a 'smart' reply. anything would help...

i have an hp pavilian g6-1d71nr laptop. it worked fine until about a month ago. now when you try to start the system it just says "hard disk 3F0 error, please install an operating system on your hard disk". the error is for a bad sata controller or motherboard. so i took it apart and tried to...
