[QUOTE="Forgotten Illustrator, post: 62163, member: 17564"] I use my onboard S/PDIF, but via coax. Itâ€™s got nothing to do with the sound card itsâ€™ self as S/PDIF is just raw information that is sent to your receiver/amp so that the amp does all the hard work of decoding. I found that when I started setting things up using FFDshow I got DD5.1 out by selecting a few options. Off the top of my head(as Iâ€™m not hear my HTPC) there were some setting that needed to be changed to say that you wish to get 5.1 out. On the down turn when I got movies playing in DD and DTS the music wound play â€œfunnyâ€ , I wound hear just digital clutter. As Callifo has stated to use Purevideo from nVidia. By using this it changes the SPDIF to what ever Iâ€™m playing so now I get DTS,DD and PCM when plying music and they all play great. The only thing I had to do is set it up was to say that I wish to output it via coax. [/QUOTE]
