hello,

i have a creativelabs live 5.1 player and i connected the digital out from the card to the digital in (rca) of my receiver. When i play a movie from dvd with dts i doesn't send this information to the receiver. The receiver still stays on dobly pro logic instead of dts.... The same problem with .avi movies that contains ac3 6 channels..

is there a solutions for this problem?

greetings

AC3 passthrough does not work with 10k1 cards like yours, you'll have to stick with stereo sound, or use analogue connections

what card do i need then and what you mean with analogue connection? you mean with the normal output instead of digital output?

greetings

yes, the normal analogue outputs

you'd need a 10k2 based card (audigy 1/2) for ac3 passthrough to successfully work

You would use the 3 analog outputs (Front L&R / Rear L&R / Center & LFE) for 5.1
