I've got a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum which I am trying to hook up to my DVD/Surround system. I'm using the SPDIF Digital output from the front panel included with the platinum model, as that is the only surround input my DVD/surround system has.
I've hooked everything up, but I can only get stereo (left and right channels only) output. There isn't really anything to configure on my DVD unit other than selecting which input to use, so I'm assuming this is a configuration problem with my soundcard settings.
I found
this link on the soundblaster support website that says I need to disable the AC3 decoding on the card, but it seems that this page is a few years old and the menus refer to an older driver, as I can't follow the instructions it gives.
I haven't been able to find anything about disabling AC3 decoding in any of the help files included with the soundblaster software and driver, nor anything useful on the web... Anyone have a clue what I need to do?
Thanks!
Dan
