Ok, just got my Logitech Z-680's. GREAT system. However, a couple problems I have experienced...
First, I was using my onboard SPDIF optical out. Worked great...except the left channel seemed quiet. Played around with my 5.1 headphones (analog), and got the same effect. I used the speakers on a standalone dvd player and HD receiver and both of thoses worked great, so I know its not the headphones or speakers. Normal headphones/speakers sound like full volume on the left channel. Strange.
So I decide to plug in my Creative Live 5.1 Platinum. It has the optical connector on the front panel. However, that optical doesn't seem to work. It flickers on and off (mostly off) Example, in the speaker test, I see it trying to play front left, center, front right, etc. It is silent, then when it gets to front right I hear "right" and then the rest are silent. Tried an MP3, and the sound just comes and goes. I tried turning the AC3 encode option on and off, both with the same results.
So now I'm using the analog connectors. Sounds great, but I would really like the optical to work. (I got this really cool cable that is clear, and the ends light up when its in use) I might try the RCA digital connection, but I have a feeling its going to meet the same results as the optical.
Ideas?
