Hello,
I would like to connect my SB Audigy to my Sony receiver, so I can watch movies on my TV and hear the sound through my 5.1 speaker setup and to hear the sound of games through the speakers.
I did some research and found that I can either use the single digital output of my SB Audigy or the 3 analogue outputs.
The digital output will provide an AC-3 stream to the Sony, but only if the movie has a Dolby Digital sound track, otherwise only the 2 front-speakers are driven.
Furthermore, the sound in games will only be output to the 2 front-speakers, even if the game supports a 5.1 speaker-setup (ie. Quake3, Half-Life, IL-2 Sturmovik...).
So digital is not really an option.
Creative Labs told me that it is possible, but only if I use the 3 analogue outputs on the Audigy.
However, I do not really know which channels are ouput on which connector and would appreciate some help with this.
I also don't know what kind of 3.5mm connectors to use in the Audigy (2, 3 or 4 poles).
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Belgarath
