reason i ask is that usually i use HDMI out to my amp and 5.1 speaker set up.
for night however i have a turtle beach dolby live set up which sounds fine through my z77 extreme 4 MB. However last week after upgrading to windows 10 i lost my dolby live option so ordered a creative 5.1 omni which is now connected to my turtle beach set up.
the turtle beach sounds better than it has ever done but i dont know if that is purely a placebo effect or whether an external card will sound better through optical.
if optical makes no difference then i will send it back
