Forgive my ignorance here, I've combed the internet for over an hour, and still can't figure this one out.
I'm trying to connect my Playstation 2 to my ABIT IS7 motherboard via the S/PDIF-in cable. Once there, I want to route the sound from the S/PDIF-in to the 5.1 speakers I have connected to the motherboard.
At this point, I'm able only hear the sound from the PS2 (with a movie or a game) as a Stereo sound only. PLUS, this only works when I check the "Real-Time spdif-in monitor", BUT checking this totally screws up my other 5.1 functions (i.e. playing a CD, the channels are routed incorrectly until I uncheck the "real-time" monitor.
With the PS2 menu during a move (select button), there is an option to setup as DTS or DD, but when I choose either of these I hear NO sound??!
I realize some/most PS2 games don't have 5.1 encoding, but I would imagine I should be able to route the Spdif-in from a movie to the 5.1 speakers hanging off my board.
Unless I'm totally missing the point on S/pdif. |

i have the same problem....
you are correct it should work...
but wait for it...
abit's stupid (m)bother board only supports 2 channel input on spdif connection...
so even if there is a 8 channle (7.1) sound coming through ... the mother board audio will only pick up the 2 channel (stereo)
i am thinking of getting a device "creative ddts100" to hook up all my gear to...
you should check it out as well...

Has this improved on the Abit AV8?? Can the spdif input pick up 5.1 channels?
Thanks |
