Hey,
i have a problem with the optical SPDIF Output of my mainboard. If I install die original ASUS Sound drivers the optical Output works without any problems. But if i try to use the unified nvidia platform driver I cannot get the output to work. It just stays black, the red light doesnt light up. Anyone know what i did wrong? Do i need to enable the output explicitly? I already did that in the nvmixer without any effect.
Thanks for your help.

Maybe try getting the newest Realtek drivers. I think they'd work better than the Nvidia ones. I'm assuming it has some version of the ALC850 chip.
 
Hey,
sure i could do that. But i wonder what the problem with the nvidia drivers is. Anyone has the same problem? Or do you just install the nvidia drivers and everything works perfectly?

It may be possible your Asus board doesn't use the nforce audio chip. My MSI board has a creative live SB 24. Stick with your Mobo drivers and skip nvidias.
