Hi all,
well it's up and running and we're getting big pix and big sound.
Thing is, PowerDVD says it's putting out 5.1 digital but when I tell the Hercules Fortisimo II sound card to use the digital output from Power DVD there's nothing. If I configure it to the main outputs I get sound but the indicator on the amp stays on Prologic instead of flicking to DD.
Now all this is when Power DVD is set to 4 speaker mode. If I configure it to "Use SP/DIF" I get nothing, so question 1 - I'm obviously missing something fundamental here - what could it be?
Question 2- would Windows XP start up in 5.1 or would the signal only be transmitted by a 5.1 DVD or game - and of course, how do I get the damn thing to output 5.1 through the optical out?
As you can imagine, having a 5.1 equipped system and only being able to pump Prologic through it is a little frustrating
Thx for any words of wisdom you may have.
