Help! I've just upgraded from Vista to 7 home premium and found the soundcard digital output through the SPDIF optical connector is not working. I'm using latest drivers from Auzentec's website.
At the moment I've got a nice HTPC with no sound! OK, not quite true - the jack outputs are working so I've had to use an old set of 2.1 speakers for a temporary measure.
Try these drivers cmediadrivers - Project Hosting on Google Code
Brilliant - that got it going. Thanks for the link.
I've been reading and reading and this site is great!
Running windows 7 64bit ultimate. I have the x-plosion sound card. Cannot get this thing going! Tried the above and I don't think it worked. I went to device manager and was able to see the driver, but it said it was not working. I even used test mode so i could install the unsigned driver.
I have also tried downloading the driver from the site. Opened the setup icon in compatibilty with Vista, Vista service pack 1 and 2, click apply then went to intall. VERY quickly it said I would need to reboot the computer. Still nothing. No laser coming out of the spdif and playback devices just shows on board. Really Really frustratedI must be missing a step somewhere? ANy help would be appreciated.
Update:
Figured it out. Forgot to assign it to file. It works great now. Thanks for the info.
Trying to use ac3 and ffdshow with windows media. ame across a how to. Can I post the link?
I have the same (or similar) problem. Speaker jack works, but no sound through digital coaxial SPDIF jack. The card and my setup worked in Vista 64 Bit and Win XP. I cannot get it to work in Win 7. What did you mean "Figured it out. Forgot to assign it to file"?
I just installed the Vista 64 Bit Drivers (in compatability mode), but it still does not work.

Look at the links from paper ant above. Follow those directions and it should work.
Works like a charm. Frustrated with Creative Sound Blaster drivers not working, bought X-Plosion. Still did not provide surround sound until I used the driver by dogber1. Thank You
