Hi Bluetimber
Did sony come back to you on the spdif problem? I've been struggling for days trying to get this to work too.
Hi Suhailjan,
So far I have had five conversations with Vaio-Link and I am afraid to say they have been a waist of time. It goes like this, Tech dept said enable ac3 in audio options via control panel, I reply I've done that, they say I will have to refer it back to tech dept. After the fifth attempt on the fifth day I said please can I talk to tech dept and cut out the middle man so I can get this resolved, sorry they say thats not possible. I have not heard from them today so I guess they gave up.
I have owned 17 computers over fifteen years and i am sad to say this is the worst tech support I have come accross
The AR11S is the best laptop I have owned and I only buy the best spec machine I can find that best provides my requirements.
Its a shame tech support dont live upto this great piece of kit
Any way rant over sorry about that.
Today I found the answer.
Go into Media Centre than settings, general, Media Center Setup, Speaker settings and select SPDIF, than go into More Programs Intervideo and change audio config and select SPDIF. You can than close Media Center, open WinDVD goto setup audio you will then be able to select 6 chanel (5.1) you can then go into WinDVD BD and do the same thing the audio setup is slightly different but I am sure you will see it ok.
Hope this is of use to some of you Guys.
If I can be of any further help just shout.
Steve.
