I need a bit of help getting my PC to play sound through my receiver. I've tried using an optical cable through the SPDIF out on my motherboard (I don't have a sound card) to the optical input on my Denon 1912, but am getting no sound. In device manager (Windows 8.1) I get the error:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10)
{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful."
when looking at the "High Definition Audio Device" option. I've tried uninstalling drivers, restarting both my computer and the receiver, and updating any drivers I could think of. I do use Realtek Audio and am running off an ASUS Z-87 plus motherboard that I just got back from ASUS after having problems with my RAM slots. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am willing to supply any necessary information in order to get this problem fixed. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Suggestions on other ways to connect to the receiver would also be greatly accepted and appreciated, as this is my first time connecting my desktop to a receiver.
