![]() ![]() I'm referring to having the card do the encoding of a 5.1 signal, not just allowing a pass through. I'm curious if anybody else has 5.1 via an optical cable working in windows 10, and what sound card you're using. I have just one optical cable that goes from the PC to the home theater receiver, and the HDMI output from my video card goes directly to my projector, and my receiver doesn't have any HDMI ports so that's not an option.) (I've got an ALC898 Built into my Intel Motherboard, and had this working under Windows 7. First key element: make sure the Creative Control Panel works, meaning you can see the options not just a blank skin (I couldn't at first, it took multiple uninstalls and re-installs before I could.I know that there's issues with getting Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect to work under Windows 10 if you have a Realtek audio chipset that Microsoft has acknowledged. ![]() ![]() I'm not even sure what exactly did it, but since I haven't seen this distinction posted anywhere, figured I'd do so here. I am installing Crysis 2 (yeah yeah, I'm behind the times - good games are still good after a year, and so much cheaper!) and will try that when it's done.Oddly enough, going into the Windows device manager to view the encoders shows that DDL and DTS Connect are active, and when I use the test button, the appropriate lights come on on the receiver and I get the test tones.Any suggestions? I don't know if this will help this dude in particular, but I beat my head against a wall for two days straight trying to get true 5.1 surround in games through my Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatality Champion using SPDIF Out. I have tried intalling and playing one game (Deus Ex: Human Revolution), and got no sound at all. When I play an HD file the receiver switches on Prologic, instead of Dolby Digital. ![]()
