Is anyone playing 5.1 sound with minijacks vs spdif?
If it is working in WMC for you, please tell me your sound card.
My MB only has spdif or stereo out from minijacks.
I have a free PCI slot but my experience with sound cards has not been good.
Can I expect a pci windows 7 sound compatible card to work, like a cheap cm chip card off ebay?
I have a dynex 5.1 sound card and it only plays stereo and conflicts with my wonder HDTV tuner.
But windows update has a driver and it works in control panel.
So I dont want to waste money buying a card if it wont work outputting 5.1 sound from the minijacks, rear and center and woofer.
I have a soundblaster PCI which does not conflict with the tuner, but of course driver issues make it not work correctly.
