My computer is based on the intel DG965WH motherboard. OS is Windows XP.
I'm using an optical fibre cable to connect the S/PDIF output from the motherboard to my Dolby 5.1 DTS amplifier.
I also have AC'97 front panel audio connectors plugged into the motherboard.
The old Sigmatel driver that came on the installation CD could be configured using Intel Audio Studio.
It produced good surround sound, but the microphone from the front panel connector was not supported.
The new IDT driver supports the AC'97 front panel, but now I can't get 5.1 sound from the S/PDIF output.
The IDT audio control panel app switches it to 7.1.
In the Speakers setup box (audio plug icon) it allows Jack Configuration = 5.1 surround, but the diagram in the middle does not display any speakers.
As a result, my 5.1 Kenwood receiver detects the S/PDIF output as "Pro-Logic" instead of "dts".
I can't get correct surround sound in games that way.
How can I have both headphone/mic (front panel) and dolby 5.1 (S/PDIF) with the same driver?
How do I get it to accept the 5.1 speaker setting?
