Hi,
I have an Asus Xonar D2 hooked to Creative 5.1 Gigaworks. The speakers are only about 3 years old but are now broke :( Although I think it's only the subwoofer instead of all 5 speakers broke.

I've always wanted to get surround sound from my Playstation 3 out of the speakers, so what do you all think I should do next? Is it possible to buy a new different model subwoofer and also a receiver to decode the opical input from the PS3?
 
My budget is more like £100 for both things :( Any more than that and I may as well buy the Z-5500.

Thing is, I have a receiver downstairs that decodes the 360's optical audio to surround sound fine, and that setup was just £200.

Do you have any other ideas?
 
Well the green light still comes on on the unit and the controller, so I don't think it's the fuse. Although many people with the 7.1 version have had a problem with fuses blowing.
