HDA Digital X-Plosion

Hi.
Can someone tell me if that with the following sound card:
HDA Digital X-Plosion 7.1 DTS Connect

That i can have my AV setup connected over optical, and then by flicking a switch in the software, have it output the sound instead to an analogue output?

Thanks in advance all.

Thanks for the reply. I might get one of these cards then.

You can set it to output to either one or the other, or both at the same time! So its as flexible as you can ever be

that's not strictly true, not if the latest drivers affect the x-plosion as the do the x-mystiques. as it stands, i cant run a digital output without having analogue on as well. This has only happened recently with the newest drivers.

Thats odd James

it works fine here, I have a set of 5.1 speakers attached with digital, and my stereo amp over analog. I can enable or disable either of them, or have them both running with no issues.

Putting some more thought into it, I do recall an issue with disabling analog, but I can't remember what it was...driver glitch though I guess...
