And it works. I think my problems are solved. At least for now. Thanks man.

Aah, thanks so much. You did put me on the right track. I searched for and installed the Auzen driver for Windows 8. These cards (Club 3D Theatron Agrippa, and Auzen X-plosion 7.1) used the same chipset (C-Media whatever). Immediately the output format selection worked again. But there was no...

Well thank you. Without reading everything back, I don't recall why I wanted this. There doesn't seem much benefit in having the sound card generate the audio that the video card then outputs. As I said the original problem was that my receiver cannot prefer S/PDIF over HDMI audio. I am still to...

It's the driver that also installs the configurator utility. Typically Windows 8 drivers work fine in Windows 10. It is old hardware and no longer actively supported, not from Club 3D, and neither from Auzentech. There are drivers from C-Media (the chipset) for Windows 8 like I said, and it...

Hi, As the title suggests... I have a sound card that can do 5.1 over S/PDIF. I am using Windows 8 drivers for it. I used to be able to select Dolby Digital live and the receiver would switch to Dolby Digital. I am using an optical cable. This is the configuration pane: Pardon the blurry...

If you read that, I think you should get a statue erected for you. Jesus christ that was long :p. In any case thank you for the solution or a solution in any case, it is not really a software solution that I was hoping to get, or asking for, or perhaps wanting to know if it existed. All the...

Thanks I'll check it out. At any rate you give an actual answer, and I don't think it would have happened without my "rudeness". For all it's worth, and I think it's worth a lot actually, trying to force people into your way of doing things is the most rude thing there is, it is just also the...

Although I must say that maybe it sounds incomprehensible now that I would want to wire some Windows S/PDIF device over some Windows HDMI device when I don't even want to use HDMI. But the benefit would be that I get better combinations of devices I use in Windows (and Linux as well, perhaps, if...

No the HDMI sounds more hollow. Besides I like S/PDIF better, and that's still no answer to the question you know. I did not ask why I should prefer HDMI or something. I just asked if there were to be a possibility to route on audio signal over the device for the next. But if you wanna know...

But supposing, just supposing I wanted to have HDMI video and analog audio on the same input on the receiver (same selector). Not possible. I would have to feed *something* through HDMI to get it on the same input. It's just a limitation of the Onkyo you might say. But disabling the HDMI audio...

To further elucidate: This motherboard doesn't support it but on my other PC I have a soundcard on which the Digital audio and Analog audio are really given through the same device, it is an excellent sound card (Club 3D Theatron Agrippa 7.1 (DTS)) and it will put output on the analog...

The older TX-SR507 had the option to "promote" Optical/Digital/Coaxial to the most important input for audio. But the newer model didn't have that option anymore :(. This is why I cannot use HDMI audio and must now dedicate a separate input to S/PDIF, which is doable, but it gets worse if you...

Yes of course. My Onkyo TX-SR578 is however so stupid (or the engineers were, to my perception) that it no longer supports selecting the Optical or Digital or Coaxial input as superseding HDMI in all cases. So whenever a HDMI audio signal on the same port comes in, the S/PDIF goes silent. That...

I know that most graphics cards these days don't come with an S/PDIF passthrough header. But HDMI audio has its own problems when given to Receivers. Many receivers, or at least mine does, might supersede the HDMI audio over the audio given from optical or coaxial sources. Alright, with that...
