I have a creative sound blaster Audigy 2 NX USB sound card because the internal sound card of my laptop isn't that great. The card is connected to my Denon ADV 500SC amplifier by optical S/PDIF. This works very well for stereo output. The amplifier however does support Dolby surround sound, and I would like to hear DVDs with 5.1 Dolby digital tracks by hardware AC3 pass-through. Does the card support this? If not, is that a driver limitation or a hardware limitation? I tried mplayer -ac hwac3 but that only produced a sound similar to a helicopter so I quickly switched off the amplifier. -- ______ (Muuuhh) Global Village Sau ==> ^..^ |/¯¯¯¯¯ (Kann Fremdsprache) ==> (oo)
