AlcoNaft, what audiodevice are you using?

The receiver also correctly displays whether the file is DTS or DD.

Ripped CD WAV files give the 'format not supported message for the 'Standard waveout device', but for the 'Realtek HD Audio Device', there's just silence. There are no error messages. The receiver's display is confusing, but it implies that the signal being received isn't a valid s/pdif signal (maybe the WAV file is being dumped to the s/pdif??).
The receiver is connected to the computer via s/pdif (coaxial).
I'm running XP SP2.

Your standard windows device is probably set to some different device. This behaviour is what i expected. The normal wav is indeed dumped to s/pdif in passthrough mode. The s/pdif "non-audio flag" is on in that case, aparently forcing the receiver to expect dd or dts. I was hoping it would be possible to play normal music this way too (bitperfect) but too bad

Ok thats probably due to the fact that SB Live does not support 44.1kHz sampling rate.

Thanx again,
Symphy

I use the Multichannelcheck in the swedish site, both DD & DTS works perfect, i get no message of errors or any kind.
But the ripped "Stereo.WAV" is pure Silence! Nothing, NADA!

Audio Card : Audigy 2 ZS (last drivers)
External Decoder : Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700

Cheers!

Thanx felo!
