The card itself work fine but as far as I can tell none of the front ports work. I am getting power as the opitcal out shows a red light but none of hte ports seem to recognzie anything and the remote doesnt work. The cable is defnitely connected between the two. Is there anyway to tell if the soundcard is even recognizing the front ports, outside of plugging stuff in (headphones, optical in and red/white in dont have any response). Any suggestions outside of returning the card?
