BangoO Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 Hi there, I'm fighting with my NF4 Expert to output digital sound via spdif (Windows XP SP2). I tried the Realtek drivers (3 of them including the very last one). The jumper is correctly set on the mainboard to output via the Realtek. I have no sound at all on my receiver ! But as soon as I send digital sound (ac3 for example), my receiver switches to digital mode but does not output anything, it does not even say it gets AC3 5.1. I also tried installing the NForce Audio Drivers (latest). I have sound on the spdif (the receiver now displays 5.1 channels and goes to digital mode), but it lasts for 1 second and then my receiver goes back to "analog" and no sound. If I pause the movie and restart it, I get 1s of sound again... same if I seek. The jumper is of course correctly set on the mainboard to output via the NVidia. I really don't what to try anymore... so any help will be greatly appreciated ! Thx ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thespin Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 I believe that you must either enable it in the bios or in the driver (the guy where you manipulate the channels), I forget which ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoO Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 AC97 is enabled in the BIOS. The place where you manipulate the channels are for analog connection. Moreover, by default, the spdif is activated for digital content... I really don't get it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangoO Posted December 23, 2005 Posted December 23, 2005 As I said, the spdif is enabled for digital content by default. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangoO Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 If I go in the Windows Volume Control and display spdif, it appears greyed out... Is this anormal behaviour ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangoO Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 I installed the Realtek drivers over the NVidia Audio, then removed the Realtek (as the spdif was still greyed out) to check with the NVidia Audio if the spdif was greyed out, and it's not. So I launched a movie... it works, it keeps the the digital signal... Strange thing though, I have to turn on the receiver before launching the movie otherwise the receiver does not receive anything... Anyway... it seems to work ok now... maybe installing the Realtek over the NVidia Audio (without uninstalling them before) did something...

BangoO Posted December 25, 2005 Posted December 25, 2005 After restarting a few times the PC, I now have the same crappy behaviour as before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMekon Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Did you ever get this sorted..??? I am trying to use SPDIF, but only get 2 channels of audio... have tried the surround demo in the realtek software, but only fron left and right... everything it set to SPDIF digital output, and 6 channels... |I have the Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 system, with an SPDIF coaxial input enabled... worked fine on my other pc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
