I have the Acer Aspire T180 PC which has support for digital audio. I connect it to my Sony HTDDW750 receiver through Coaxial cable. I have enabled Digital Audio Output in the Sound Manger in Windows.
I am trying to play DTS 5.1 Audio CDs in PowerDVD or WinDVD
This is what happens in the following two cases:-
Case I - Audio Output setup in WinDVD or PowerDVD set as Stereo
I play a DTS 5.1 Audio CD, the audio is perfect from the receiver's speakers BUT it is 2.1 (Receiver doesn't show DTS). This case seems fine.
Case II - Audio Output setup in WinDVD or PowerDVD set as Digital SPDIF
I play a DTS 5.1 Audio CD, the audio is garbled, noisy and whatnot. (Receiver does show DTS 5.1)
What is the problem in case II and what is the solution??
(BTW.......All DTS 5.1 DVDs play perfectly in the receiver through WinDVD/PowerDVD in PC and the same DTS 5.1 Audio CDs play perfectly in a standalone dvd player connected to the Sony receiver through Toslink)
