Like I said; I've been looking around everywhere to find a solution for the past 2 days. (I guess I can't post direct links atm so I guess we have to deal with that.)
My Motherboard: www . newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128412
has a Realtek ALC888 chipset.
Updated to the first driver on this page:
www . gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=3254&ost=windows+7+64bit#anchor_os
I am running a 64bit Windows7.
Everything I read states that this will reproduce DTS and DD through a Coax connection.
However everything defaults to Linear PCM.
When I force S/PDIF in VLC my receiver jumps back and forth as if receiving DTS for a split second then receiving Linear PCM.
What this sounds like is a quarter of a second of audio being pulsed about 6-8 times; silence for about 1 second; then another audio clip does the same thing.
My receiver is ancient at this point; heres a link to a PDF manual.

Though as long as the signal being sent is uncompressed I don't see any reason as to why the DTS wouldn't work.
Playback devices > Realtek Digital Output > Supported Formats.
I have
DTS audio
Dolby Digital
both checked
Sample rates checked are
44.1kHz
48.0kHz
When I hit the "Test" button next to any one of these it works; the receiver remains on DTS or DD throughout the test; and the audio is clear. Each speaker works as intended.
The only other thing I can think of is that I have no idea if the impedance of the cable I am using is 75 ohms. I know RCA refers to the connection type; but it used to be a cable behind my cable box transporting the L/R(white/red) audio. The cable doesn't feel stiff like the typical coaxial with the screw on connection at the end however. However if the tests work; I can't imagine it's the wire.
I'd be happy to provide any other information you might need. I provided anything I thought would be helpful.
Thanks for any help or idea guys; I really appreciate it.
