Can't say for sure as I got mine recently and never used different drivers than the last set. So maybe this problem is not present in old versions. Or maybe it isn't a Prelude problem.

I've got the same problem with my Prelude and the latest RC8 drivers... are you using a Prelude too?

Title says all... which one has the best quality? I know that, in theory, DTS should be superior but... does this applies also for real time conversions from analog to digital audio like the job that the Prelude does?

So, here's what I've found so far concerning this problem... correct me if I'm wrong... Aparently, to be able to hear 5.1 analog sound coming from games through my digital SPDIF connection I need a "Dolby Digital Live" capable sound card. Basically what this is all about is converting the 5.1...

Oh, guess what... all the music samples encoded in Dolby Digital were played correctly here... :confused:

Ok, I'll test using some of those files later today and report back here. Thanks for the help :D

Hm, actually I wasn't able to do any tests with movies yet... is there a test sound file or something which I can use to see if this can be done without having a DVD with me here, right now? In any case, gaming-wise, it seems that my only option is to go analog...

So, as the noob that I am, just finished my new gaming rig, and this time, I was expecting to play all my games in 5.1 using my receiver as the output device. To be able to do that, I thought that buying a mainboard (in this case, the Asus P5Q Deluxe) with integrated SPDIF optical output...
