Just a little note, I don't have the answer to your problem ...

The S/PDIF interface only needs 2 wires from the motherboard to your 
video card, signal and ground. Usually there is another pin that carries 
5 volts used to power a fiber optic interface cable. If you are 
connecting to a 4 pin header on the motherboard, are you sure you are 
using the s/pdif connector?  My Intel board only has three pins on the 
s/pdif header.
