I want the image of the xcard combined with the 5.1 sound of my SB live! card, which seems to be somewhat tricky...

I read a review of the xcard where the reviewer connected the xcard with his sb live card using the internal digital connectors to be able to output 5.1 sound whilst enjoying the picture quality of the xcard. I have the exact same setup and I haven't been able to do it. I could buy a separate amp and use the digital external connector + a converter to connect the inspire kit to the amp but that seems to be an expensive way to do it =)

Any thoughts on this?

(Oh, and while I'm at it... is there a prog that would allow me to slow my internal dvd-unit down? it's spinning like mad x16 when I play dvds and I think that's overkill. too much noise)

cheers!
