    SPDIF not working....

    I downloaded and installed the audio driver, which was the same one I already had, and for about 10 mins while I was setting up my system I had the DTS option. But it still gave me no joy, and for some unknown reason... after unpluging the SPDIF lead and reconnecting the analogue lead, I no...
