Which sound format to choose to play games with P8Z77 Deluxe

[radiikal]

Hi!
I'm using Asus P8Z77 Deluxe with Logitech Z5500.

Currently using on board audio connecting to Logitech using optical cable and 5.1 cables.

My question is, if i play games, should i switch to optical output and select DTS out or should i choose 5.1 PCM stream to Logitech without any decoding.

which options would give me the best sound experience, in terms surround, quality...

thx fellas

Select DTS That is what I do on mine!

I choose DTS for movie... But for games, isn't DTS simulate the surround? Sometimes when I select analog 5.1 direct, the surround seems clearer...

It is all a matter of what the game supports.
