Holy crapshoot. It works. I would not have believid it. That blue little box from Ali arrived a good while ago, but it turned out that I had misplaced all my optical cables somewhere. Today I accidentally happened to stumble upon them and got on to it. No surprise there: The bundled micro USB...

I do have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion PCIe in a box tucked away in a closet, or actually even two. I had disregarded this partly, as I assumed there's no software support for it any longer in Windows 11, but it seems there's a Daniel K support pack for it dating a couple of...

Source is at least for now or for good a TV only, mainly different streaming services, which I believe many provide 5.1 sound at least in DD. As mentioned somewhere above I have 4.0 Genelec speaker setup connected to my PC's mobo's analog outs. I believe the PC hardware/software should properly...

If so, are there software or other methods to decode the raw stream on the fly on Windows 11 PC and play it back from connected speakers?

Under 10 euros including delivery from Aliexpress. I might just try this out...

Just as a simple solution to route sound from my Samsung QLED TV to my Genelec 4.0 speakers connected to my PC's analog audio output ports. Albeit this simple idea looks more and more impossible the further I investigate into it.

I thought about this, but although I did mention add-in card in OP, far most preferable option would be a simple USB input-only device. I have a pretty high end motherboard, which sound card should supposedly be second to none, what comes to integrated solutions anyway. Also adding an PCIE card...

Is there a S/PDIF input card or USB dongle/box that enables 5.1 digital audio signal that could be listened on a PC and outputted to whatever soundcard you have? This seems to be very close, but only supporting stereo...

Surprise, surprise! Got short response from Seasonic technical team saying "chart you provided for revise is workable" - that is a reference to the same picture seen here. So I suppose the question about connecting every wire straight from one connector pin to parallel pin should be sorted. But...

I have Seasonic X650 power supply and I need longer modular PSU to CPU 8pin cable than the provided 60cm (2ft). I tested the original cable and the results are in the image below. Do you need to connect the ground pins exactly as they are or can you make straight parallel connections, which...

-Thanks mate! It's good to hear that I've done something right with the setting up. Btw the startup time went down from 1:03 with mechanical factory drive to 19 second with SSD on fresh Windows 7 install.

Hello everybody! My first post. How does these figures look for Asus UL30A CULV-laptop (Core 2 Duo SU7300 + 4GB DDR3 @ Windows 7 x64) and Vertex Turbo 60GB (firmware 1.5)? I suppose the motherboard controller is Intel ICH9... if I'm not completely wrong. I did a few installs as I was...
