For whatever reason my SPDIF stopped working…This is what I use to go from my PC to my Surround Sound Processor…..So I thought I would just get another Sound Card that has the SPDIF/Toshlink Output……

I’ve ordered the Asus Xonar DG, which is reviewed pretty high and fits the bill perfect for me. All I need is the sound card to “Pass Through” the Digital Signal to my Reciever to decode……

I have a couple of questions though:

Am I correct that this will do what I need it to do (SPDIF----Processor-----Headphones). Most of the files are movies in .mkv format and are usually dolby digital. I use Turtle Beach DSS Processor and before it stopped working I was super happy with it.

Do I need to do anything BEFORE installing this…….? I heard the drivers can be a pain. I’m currently using onboard audio that no longer works (SPDIF Port is dead …No Red light).
This is stressing me out….

Thought Computers were supposed to be fun…… =)
