[QUOTE="loadme, post: 557337, member: 101038"] hey all so whats the difference? having an onboard soundcard with 5.1 channels out (for left right front back sub) and 1 sp/dif out. [B]i want to send the 5.1 (or even stereo or 7.1, depends on the source) in its original format from the videofile to my receiver via s/pdif[/B] there are those selections: "speakers (high def)" "default direct sound" "default wave out device" "digital audio(S/pdif) (high def)" "directsound: digital audio(S/pdif) (high def)" "directsound: speakers" i would guess, - directsound means, its not being processed by my onboard soudcard and HAS to be processed from my receiver? - everything without "s/pdif" has to be connected through those speaker connections, s/pdif has to be connected via "spdif output" nearly right? i would chose "directsound: digital audio(S/pdif) (high def)" but is this the right choice for the best results? and is it possible to hear stereo files with same settings through the same connection, too? can someone clear things up? :ooops: [/QUOTE]
