Hooking it to a home theatre system?
Can I get the 5.1 to play back through my preamp? If so any details would
be appreciated. |

Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm talking about something with
some detail on getting the Surround Sound from an Audigy or Audigy2 to a standard receiver or preamp with DTS/AC3/Dolby surround sound input. Would it support an optical connection? If so what cable did you buy. "Jim" wrote in message news:Uy7Wb.271778$xy6.1381634@attbi_s02... Can I get the 5.1 to play back through my preamp? If so any details would be appreciated. |

No, these cards have coax outputs, though curiously not through a coax RCA plug, but a 3.5mm headphone jack instead. You could use any mono coax cable, with an RCA-to-headphone conversion plug at one end Also note, with a digital connection, you are limited to Dolby Digital/DTS in *pre-encoded* material only! The soundcard cannot encode these sound standards in realtime, so you won't get multichannel sound in normal windows programs/games. Spdif interface only has bandwidth for two uncompressed channels, unfortunately. |
