Soundblaster Live 5.1 to external amp
Hi,
I just got a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 and want to use the digital out to the digital input on my Surround Sound amp. I have tries a mono mini cable to the digital coax in on the amp and I get nothing. When I use a stereo out mini to one RCA jack I only get either the front R and L or the rear R and L. I also tried an adapter to take both RCAs into one and I get no signal. What cable do I really need to get the digital out from the SB Live to the input on my receiver? Thanks! Paz

You can't get 5.1 channel output through the digital out with a normal
receiver. You can only get stereo with it. "Paz" wrote in message om... Hi, I just got a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 and want to use the digital out to the digital input on my Surround Sound amp.

You can for pre-encoded material like DVDs if you set the drivers to
passthrough and set yer DVD player software to use SPDIF passthrough as well. "Paz" wrote in message om...
