I thought I'd try this PC home cinema mallarky..but I'm stuck. I have a DVD drive with spdif connected to soundblaster live 5.1.
I'm trying to get 5.1 out of it but nothing seems to work.
I have connected the rear of the soundblaster to my amp using 3.5mm to phonos for centre/sub, right and left channels..but nothing is working..
any help would be appreciated..
 
I have same card as you..it has been suggested i change cards...but one of my older posts approached how to connect this card...
 
wicked..I love this place..
Finished my post and then went hunting and found a post about just this. I now have a 3.5mm jack plugged into digital out on SB and 2 RCAs other end..with jjust the black plugged in and the amp picks the DD and DTS perfectly..
thanks chaps..
