Re: Dolby Digital 5.1

Do you have a Dolby Digital receiver hooked up to it via optical (toslink)
cable?

I just bought the Soundblaster Audigy 2 NX and it only allows for stereo
output when using digital output. No 5.1 surround sound capabilities.

:S

This is frustrating to say the least. I guess I need to sink even more
money into this thing and buy me a 7.1 or 5.1 amplifier that accepts
separate inputs.
