Windows SB Recon not outputting anything apart from stereo

Anyone have any ideas as I used to be able to play both Dolby Digital (iTunes) & DTS via XBMC from my optical output from my SB Recon card into my Sony home cinema now I get nothing

I have uninstalled & reinstalled both the SB card & Drivers and have also tried using the onboard digital output but still the same.

Any ideas kind people of bit-tech land

 

Have you checked the Sony AVR with another source to check it isn't that? Have you a PS3 or the like? That would give you a good indication.

Also - optical cable could be borked? Updated version of XBMC? Tried VLC on the PC set to DirectSound and use SP/DIF?

Well- DD works now in both ITunes & XBMC but I cannot get DTS to work- I have a large number of files with DTS which used to play and I need them to again!

HEEEEEEEEELP

 

Assuming they are .mkvs, have you tried VLC?

 

You see that bloke who runs like a girl, that's me that is, that's how I run

Would have been sensible for me to have looked at the full options under XBMC and see that I had unticked DTS compatible receiver

btw VLC will not play the DTS at all and yes they are MKV files

 

If it's working in XBMC, my work here is done.

...oh and who am I to criticise your running style?
