Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic Issue

[MikeWarner]

Ive just installed my new sound card and can't seem to get it to work. A read reviews on the card before buying, but now I'm worries these reviewers were misinformed.

Does this card have an S/PDIF output? The reviews i read stated that the "Flexi Jack" port at the rear of the card is S/PDIF. I bought a mono jack to RCA converter and connected it to my amp - nothing. The sound card doesn't even know it is there.

WTF is going on? I find the Creative site extremely lacking in detailed infomation.

Does this card have an S/PDIF out on the back or what?

Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm running Vista. I don;t see an option to do that.

I've told Vista that I want to use S/PDIF. That worked fine with the on board sound.

Yes. Everything installs fine. S/PDIF worked fine on the on board sound card, so it is nothing outside the PC causing the issue.

From what you say though - that connection at the rear is an S/PDIF - so at least I know my card should do what I want it to do.

Anyone using a Creative card with S/PDIF on Vista?
