AC3 pass-through possible with SB Audigy 2NX (USB) ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.
