    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    Already emailed, but no reply as of yet. I might return it back to the shop and change the card, see how it goes with a DDL-capable card instead of DTS:Connect. Wish me luck.

    But that is an Asus Xonar U7... It has different drivers (I think). That's also DDL, not DTS. Maybe that has anything to do with it? But so far, when I looked at DTS settings, there's always the same selection, but DTS:Interactive or something at the default audio options... Why is that???

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    Okay. So I have bought an Asus Xonar DS because it has DTS-Connect and other stuff that is similar to DDL. However, I still am unable to listen to 5.1 audio through SPDIF. I feel like I missed something in the settings for it. Any ideas? Below is my settings on the Asus Xonar DS. And below is...

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    Hmm... I think I could make do with what I have right now. It's a bargain buy (at that time) actually, so no problem for me. Found some hacked driver online that enabled Dolby/SRS/DTS Surround functionality. Not really the best, but empty pockets means no new HTiB set yet... Thanks for the...

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    The problem is that I am unable to check the speaker configuration for the sound card, though the card was labeled as a 7.1 capable sound card. I assumed that the setting is automatic. Or am I wrong?

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    My home theater set only had a HDMI output, sadly, and none of those 3 analogue ports. I have no way of connecting it to my PC other than the aforementioned single cable (which works, strangely) or the TOSLINK. And since money's something I'm rather short at right now, I guess I'll buy that...

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    And since my card didn't support it (since it's not in the default format options), it means that I am completely s**t out of luck here? Or are there other solutions?

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    I see... How do you do that? Are there any disadvantages/issues with it? EDIT: Yeah... It looks like so... Any workarounds for this?

    2.0 sound through 5.1 SPDIF

    Hello to everyone within this site. I recently bought a Philips HTD3540/98 home theater unit that I planned to hook up to my PC using SPDIF. But since my PC had no onboard SPDIF (my motherboard is a Gigabyte B75M-D3V), I bought a sound card as well, a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio...
