revo 3700 unable to use optical out on amp
#1
Hi guys,

got a shiney new amp from santa. onkyo TX-N609. and i am trying to ude the optical out into the amp, but it is always seems to come from hdmi.

i have enabled all the setting in xbmc,
and set my input to game on the amp as this is what the optical input is.

i am on win 7 pro 64 bit, acer revo 3700.

installed new nvida drives and realtek drivers but still no joy!!

does anybody have any suggestions??

i'm guessing that optical out is better for 5.1 sound!!

cheers

digital is digital, so no, absolutely no difference. You'll even need HDMI for the more advanced DTS HD etc., as optical has not enough througput for it.
