IIRC the Audigy won't output digital when playing DVDs. You'll need an analog connection to do digital surround from the DVD. DMCA strikes again, You have to RTFM to know this because they sure as hell don't want you to know before you buy. |

You should have a pdf file on the disc(s) that came with your card that show everything you need for analog connection. |

can i have surround sound with sound blaster?
ok.. first of all i manage to get digital audio, as for the limited
channel i was dum and forgot that dvd itself can send 2.1 audio or 5.1 audio now i have it all for dvd. what's left is analouge, problem is i assume the pdf is referrign to pc speakers, now when i run the diagnotstics, i only hear front spreakers, no subwoofer no sorround. i don't know how can i hook it up to a reciver. i saw something called pre-out on a reciver, i don't know if that's related. |

You have 3 mini-phone jacks for output on the Audigy but I have no idea how it connects to your receiver. My receiver is still analog surround and I don't have the computer hooked to it. Good luck. |

can i have surround sound with sound blaster?
well i think i've managed to get it. it has an 6.1 RCA analog input
plugs, and i have to switch to 6.1 input mode, (the only the sucks are the mini jacks which are of good quality which makes them thick), they can't be all connected to the back of the card, becouse they have no room, so i have to get a small female-male extender for one of them. also i think the third connection should be 3 RCA to a mini jack becouse it's for sub-wooder, center and back center. |
