    Need help with S/PDIF


    Okay so my PC is connected to my Home Theater using a 5.1 Optical cable and for the majority of things I don't get 5.1 sound, the only thing I have managed to get it to work on is VLC media player when I select select A/52 over S/PDIF in the Audio Device dropdown (5.1 Only plays through as stereo) and also it works on the Windows 7 supported formats test for both DTS audio and Dolby Digital. I've tried some games with it and I can't seem to get it to work, can anybody help me out with this it will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi and welcome

    A couple of asks:
    • Can you complete your system specs;
    • What amp are you connecting to?
    • Have you setup your amp or soundcard for audio detection? (I switch everything off on my soundcard, set passthrough for the audio output and configure my amp for auto detection)
    • Has this ever worked?
    Regards

Hi That's it really. Are the S/PDIF ports different from the usual ports that people connect computer speakers into? Regular computer speakers that is. Many thanks in anticipation.
