Problem with Audigy and optical IN

Hi, i have a problem, i have a sound blaster audiy platinum (1st series), windows 7 x64 and a tv with audio optical out.
I want to use optical IN of my audigy to listen the audio from tv to my 5.1 speaker of computer. The problem is that i can't hear the audio of tv and i don't know why. I try to go in: control_pannel-hardware_and_sounds-sounds-tab_recorder and i see that all of the name in the list are not ready, all but S/PDIF IN that is ready. The line next to S/PDIF IN (line that show the sound's level) is always gray, such as it don't receve audio.
Anyone can help me, please?


Sorry for my english.

Are you sure you have an S/PDIF INPUT? Most of the cards in that era only have an S/PDIF OUTPUT from the PC.

thanks for reaplay, yes i have last driver and it is compatible with x64, and also yes the audigy have S/PDIF INPUT and also th S/PDIF OUTPUT...

I see S/PDIF I/O on the external "Audigy Drive" unit but not on the basic sound card. Is this what you have? I had a later Audigy 2 Platinum Ex model with the external "Audigy Drive" unit and it had the Optical I/O connections. Considering the age of this unit it could have malfunctioned and the reason the Optical no longer works. The Audigy Drive module in mine died and sadly I had to upgrade to a new model sound card as the Audigy line has been discontinued.

thanks for replay, the audigy mixer dosen't work in windows 7 i don't know what to do... i have audigy and in front of computer i have a pannel that is linked with audigy board, if i click on mixer audio of windows 7 (near clock) it show me: speakers, sound of system and S/PDIF IN, that have the highest level possible but wen i switch the monitor from monito to tv and set speakers exsternal i can't listen the audio and mixer of windows don show me the line where se the level of the audio such as there isn't audio...

As I suspected you have the model with the "Audigy Drive". Considering the age of the unit it's not surprising that it's not 100% Windows 7 compatible. Your best option, to do what you want, is to upgrade to a new sound card that is fully Windows 7 compatible. The HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound card has both optical S/PDIF input and output and is Windows 7 compatible - both 32 bit and 64 bit. HT Omega - Striker7.1
