Convert pc audio into dolby surround

Chronictank · 15 Mar 2008 at 14:34

Is this possible? ideally through software as i dont think my soundcard supports the functionality
I have an onkyo 505SE hooked up to my pc via SPDIF and ideally i want to use my tv to play games on my pc, now this works fine but i cant find some software to convert the pc surround into the single stream needed for dolby (amp)
I have a DFI Infinity 975x which has a Realtek HD audio on board

I read this was possile with a creative card?
Ultimately i want to convert game audio into surround on my system,
reading about i believe this involves converting EAX audio into Dolby surround

Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated

I dont get why you cant just use a bit of software to convert from EAX to AC3 :s

£124 is a bit crazy for a sound card :s

I think i will give this a miss until the tech has matured somewhat for the mo

I really cant justify £124 on something that would be nice but isn't necesary
when i can just as easily buy a port for the 360 with native support

cheers for all you're help mate
