Man of Honour
Bit of advice from the experts please.
I have an X-Fi extremegamer fatality Pro card and Logitech Z-680 speakers.
I need to pay $5 to 'unlock/license' Dolby/DTS output from the card, no biggie cost wise.
But my Z680s' have a Dolby/DTS decoder.
So;
Would the card do a better job of handling Dolby/DTS and then optical out to the speakers ?
or
Analogue out from the card and use the Logitech to de-code?
Is the card actually capable of sending a Dolby signal without the $5 activation ?
The software tells me that it has been enabled ( according to screenshots i've seen to compare ), but the activation is still blank as i haven't paid for it ?
Cheers
