Title: 5.1 sound at MB coaxial output
Post by: J_Gannon on January 21, 2009, 04:37:53 PM

Hi:

I have an Asus PQ5 Deluxe whose on board sound isnt operational (bad IC, poor drivers? lol who knows) So I installed a X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro sound card. Card works perfectly but my question is.. can i use the MB's digital coaxial output for 5.1 sound into a receiver? When using a separate pci sound card, instead of on board, is there output @ the coax output from the X-Fi PCI soundcard? I want to hook up the output to a Yamaha receiver for 5.1 surround. Thanks in advance
