Hello,
I just built an new computer and I used the Xonar DX 7.1 sound card. I have an older surround sound system (5 speakers, one sub-woofer) that only has analog stereo connections at the subwoofer for the whole system (does not have HDMI or SPDIF connections).
When I bought the card I envisioned plugging into the card with two 3.5 mm leads that connected into the analog stereo connections. However, the only problem is that I can't get this connection to work. So far all I can get to work is the old, boring single 3.5 mm connection to the sound card that splits into the two y analog stereo connections.
Why won't the sound card work with a two-lead stereo connection from the speaker system system to two-lead connection (to the sound card). I have read Asus's manual and it is no help. I am disappointed with the the card's apparent difficulty to connect.
This is my first sound card and so I am new to this type of component. While I realize this is an ABC question to those with sound card experience, it is not to me.
Thanks
