|
 |
Recently i built a HTCP computer form a medion pc i got from a friend. The thing has got a SPDIF -in port. But when i connect a SPDIF cable to the computer i can see the volume bars go up and down, but i don't hear anything.
So my question is, do i need special software to playback the sound? or are there some things in windows that have to be adjusted?
I see bars moving, but there is no sound coming from my speakers...

why  |
Because it's cheap as hell, but the computers still have decent hardware in them.
But the problem is still there, so what would be a way to play the sound that is coming into the computer on the speakers. |

you need to connect the digital out to a digital receiver either by toslink cable or co-ax cable. Then make sure it is correctly setup on your amp and you should be good to go.
if your amp doesn't have a digital in or you are playing a signal it can't recognise such as DTS you won't hear much

The signal coming from my digital TV receiver, and i know it is arriving in the pc because i can see the volume bar moving in my audio setup screen (see opening post). I think that there are two possibilities at the moment:
1. Vista is muting the signal somewhere.
2. Vista can't playback digital audio input and i need an additional program (which one?) |

No, just for decoding the television signal, and routing the sound from my xbox 360 to the media center PC , (which goes trough an analog TULIP cable ATM) |

maybe I'm confused, are you not outputting this to a stereo receiver and TV?
