I am having some sound card issues at the moment (see other post) so i'm not sure if this is what’s causing the problem.
I have just got myself a nice Dolby digital 5.1 surround sound set with the amp having two optical in's. When I plug the optical lead with the headphone jack into the laptop (pa1510) i'm not getting any sound output. I've gone to the realtek sound suite and turned on the optical out but still nothing. Also I’m only getting the option of two speakers or headphone. Not 5.1 (I have activated this in the control panel).
Am I missing something or is it due to the sound card not being configured properly.
