I'm in a dorm. I have one 5.1 sound system and it's connected to my PC. I have an Xbox with a fiber optic cable to my PC. I see the sound (the little bar on my PC bounces when I do stuff on my Xbox), but I can't get it to re-distribute that to my speakers. The realtek software doesn't have the option to make it pass through like it does for 3.5mm line-in and mic ports. I used the line-in, but the sound it washed out an low quality.

How do I get the digital Fiber Optic sound from my Xbox to my Speakers on my PC.

Basically, you just want to pass through the signal from you're 360->PC->Sound System?

My first question: Are you SURE that you are using a Optical INPUT; I know motherboards have Optical OUTPUTS now, but I don't think any have inputs yet...

The setting in question (at least for most soundcards) is "Spdif in/loopback", which passes whatever input come over the optical input port and outputs it untouched over the optical output port.
