Tolden 0 Posted June 15, 2003 I have had an audigy, now I own an audigy 2, I have a sony infrared headephones with 5.1 emulation, but only through digital (optical) spdif. When I plug the DVD to the headphones, the "DTS" or the "Digital 5.1" led lights, but when playing a game through the digital out of the audigy, the headphones do not detect 5.1 channels, so I have stereo. Is there any way to play 5.1 games through the digital spdif out of the board? Share this post Link to post
sjchmura 0 Posted June 16, 2003 No. The audigy cannot do this. Only the NFORCE motherboard can "encode" directsound 3d into 5.1 Dolby Digital. I think Dolby charges $25/motherboard - that would prohibit a $70 soundcard from having that license. Share this post Link to post

Well if this is the case, some of us, I would imagine, wouldn't have any problems paying a little extra to have this feature on the Audigy, or even an the Audigy 3 when it comes out As for me, I just payed for a great Sennheiser set, the HD497 model. They beat the crap outta my old Koss pair Share this post Link to post
