I am trying to obtain 5.1DD from my PC sound card to my Amp
I have 2 PCI cards, Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 & Sweex Digital 5.1 SC003
The Live card has digital out vie 3.5mm SPDIF socket of which I tried to connect to my amy via a 3.5mm SDIF to Toslink lead - no sound at all
The Sweex card can output stereo sound only from the Optic or Coaxial ports irrespective of what audio my media has & still does so even if I choose "Pass Through" option on media player
I have tried using WMP11, Nero Show Time & PowerDVD all giving the same failing results
Can ANYONE PLEASE help me here, Ive been trying for a month now & no luck
Could it be a driver prob ? - although I do have latest drivers for both
Or can any1 think of something else or even recommend a plug & play soundcard that will give me 5.1DD surround when connecting to my amp
thanks
