I have sort of a tough (I hope not) question regarding a PC > Recevier setup.
I have a Abit AN8-SLi (that part doesn't matter much, really). Anyways, it came with an 7.1 AudioMax card I plugged in that has Optical Out on it. I have it plugged into my Yamaha RX-V2500 via optical. The Realtek Codec is ALC850 and I just recently installed their HD Sound drivers, because I couldn't get 5.1 working. Currently I have 2ch working and I'm trying to get 5.1 working on this thing. In the Realtek Sound Manager control I have S/PDIF-Out set to Output Digital Only as the other 3 do me no good (No Output, Output Digital and Analog, S/PDIF-In to S/PDIF-Out pass through mode).
I was curious if anyone has successfully completed this setup and got it working in 5.1. Also, on the receiver it only detects 'L' and 'R' on the display.
If anyone has any suggestions/answers, would be highly appreciated. This is driving me nuts.
