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!

Gee, and I was thinking of grabbing that card to hook it up to my dvd/5.1 reciever. Why do they build those things without an Optical in?
Only thing I can think of is you may not be using the proper cable. You need to use an RCA Co-Axial cable for SPDIF. If you are using a standard Analog cable, you probably will only pick up the stereo signal. See if that works.
