Hi, should this work: Aureon USB 5.1 MK2 -> SPDIF out-> External Amplifier -> 5.1 sounds? I can get normal 2-speaker stereo with PCM-text lighted on the amplifier, but can't get it to 5.1 DD. I've set all speaker settings to 5.1. Any info greatly appreciated! -Sup
5.1 Digital audio is an absolute pain in the neck, I spent literally hours and hours trying to work out how to do it with my Creative external 5.1 card and eventually gave up - I think I managed it with the onboard realtek after a few more hours. It's partly to do with what you're playing - which media files are you trying to play in 5.1?
Actually I gave up on Terratec, since I read the optical-spdif is only for stereo output. I happened to have old Xtreme Music card and creative digital I/O-module, so I got games working with that. I now have 5.1 DD from games and that's enough. I'm not using this for videos.. Cheers, Sup
