Optical signal

[mikethemadmonk]

I can no longer get a optical signal from My sound card. It is a creative X-Fi elite pro. Watched a movie, went to bed, next day zilch. Have a dual boot boot set up Xp and Win 7, both have the same fault. I can use them both with a direct signal. Very strange. Anyone got an idea?

perhaps the optical out port burned out.
