Is this card a SB Live! Value, as stated in the title, an SB Live! as stated in your post, or an SB Live! with S/PDIF output as stated in your sig?
A Value wont do 5.1 and neither will a regular Live!. A Live! with S/PDIF out will do 5.1 if it is an SB Live! 5.1 card. I think.
You may be able to find a converter to turn the digital S/PDIF output into the analog jacks. Are you sure your receiver doesn't support digital?
Better yet, buy a new card. SB Live! cards are pretty old and outdated...
Yes it can do that in software.Originally posted by rally9x
can the live! 5.1 actually decode 5.1? software or hardware?
i saw a guide once... youll have to rig a cable and hook it up to your parallel port. then you can flash the firmware on the card and itll add 5.1 functionality. but youll also have to solder on the card too because the extra leads have to come from somewhere. im not sure where the guide is but im sure google will pick it up. i hope to do this this summer (if i fail, and i probably will...
