Solve : Unable to get Digital Audio to work? |
|
Answer» HEY folks, so I just received some new speakers that are able to output DIGITAL so I WANTED to try it out: Speakers in question: http://www.microlab.cn/product_detail.asp?id=395&bigclassid=15&smallclassid=70 I have these set to Optical output and connected via a Toslink cable to my motherboard: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/ I have the speakers selected in my playback options http://puu.sh/9ndg8/b1f917a9d5.png as well as in the Realtek driver window http://puu.sh/9ndhA/07c9df3281.jpg but I am still getting no sound out of them, whereas it works through the 3.5mm. This is pretty CONFUSING for me so some help would be appreciated. Thanks in advanceIs this posted in the wrong section? Could still use some assistanceHello EN32, it is in the correct section, but I haven't worked with Digital Audio to assist and I feel that this might be the case for others here too. I still am using the standard analog audio on all my systems. I had a system a few years ago that had the Digital Audio feature on a Fatal1ty gaming motherboard PCIE 1x audio adapter, but I never used it. Most of the time here when there is no response it is because those who looked this over are unfamiliar with the problem to assist with, and vs giving someone useless babble, its best to leave a question for help unanswered since someone scrolling for 0's for answers in categories might chime in and assist a week or two later who doesnt frequent this FORUM daily or becomes a new member and is able to assist with good information to use. One way to know if people are looking at your question or posts is to look at the viewed stat on the outside of your post. As of posting this response 109 views have been made to your post for assistance. So people are definately reading your info for assistance, but they like myself might not have the info needed to assist you. The problem could be defective speakers, bad digital audio port on the motherboard, or driver or config problem. Assuming you already installed latest audio driver for this motherboard, since you just got the speakers and they are covered by warranty possibly, I'd return them for a warranty replacement. Then if the problem remains contact asrock support to see if they can assist. * Although I have heard that their support is very poor. Lastly Asrock brand motherboards I do not trust the quality of, and so it could be that the digital audio is defective for this motherboard. Most probable would be a driver or config issue. Next probable would be defective speakers. Last probable would be defective digital audio port on motherboard. Before returning the speakers for warranty replacement, do you have any friends who have systems with digital audio to test your speakers on? |
