I have moved on from optical. but someone else may find that useful. Sounds promising, if anyone is willing to pay or reboot every 60 mins lol.

You should be able. Try it out. Several of us have posted all the steps. Don't expect games without a "surround" option in their audio settings to give you surround as lots of titles now output surround over PCM with no in-game option for sound which optical cant do anything about nor can DDLive.

Totally agree that it sucks they have removed those inputs from modern receivers. Guess they just wanna cut costs as we are a very select few

Hmmm no I got you. So I would use spdif for bitstrreaming movies and analog for gaming. Interesting about using onboard analog surround. It would be nice to have that on a "new" AVR and HDMI. Pretty cool though. Like I have said before in this thread, I would gladly Sacrifice Lossless formats...

Yes thanks. Precisely the problem! I am astonished that Nvidia knows about many of people request an option in cp for audio only setting for one of the outputs and do nothing about it. They currently have a video only option so they can add an audio option just as well. At least I am not alone...

Yes that is why I also would like to use spdif for simplifying all of the driver issues/quirks of using basically a ghost 2nd monitor for sound, etc. That is exactly as I thought, you are proving my point that if a game has surround options in game menu it will work. The problem is not all games...

There is not an option in game, For the past few years I believe this in game option is less and less available as most titles will auto detect what you have set in windows...therein lies the problem, ddlive/dtsi does not have a configure speaker option in the win audio settings. Since it is on...

I am really done with this. Surround in games is not working. Actually it is wrking in menu music, but gameplay is stereo using DTSi or DDLive. Very confusing. I have a 6ch aac test video file and it is output correctly to my AVR and full seperation. For some reason DDL nor DTSi is able to...

I understand your issue. I am not familiar with using that feature. What about in the realtek control panel? Under enhancements, scene, or environment? Isnt there an option there? Sounds like there should be. Not everyone has an AVR and people still use and make analog equipment. Are you sure...

You are not correct in regards to having a receiver. I will tell you why. This whole thread on the forum is because 5.1 is locked natively on the software. You do need DDLive even with a receiver if you use optical. It is what led me to this thread. I think you are confusing video files encoded...

Here is what I did: 1. downloaded and installed latest drivers from my motherboard manufacturer. Then applied registry entry ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Audio". Add "DisableProtectedAudioDG" of DWORD (32bit value) type and set it to 1.) 2. downloaded r2.82 and...

Yes optical is your best option till your STEREO dies. When it does make sure you get one that can passthrough 4k60hz and you will be happy. Just understand that optical is the best option for YOU at this moment. HDMI is the best as of right now in general.

Yes. That is what I just said. You have to havit like I said. Man I am about to take your avatar as my own right now. lol

Haha you tell us. I am betting you have the optical out on your tv going to your STEREO? So basically you have this PC>STEREO over optical. Nvidia>TV over HDMI. So youre going through a loop to get that sound test which isnt really fair nor valid as a test for HDMI.

Yes! It is A/V going to your TV! Not your "STEREO" :)
