Has anyone had any luck with their software player passing an ac3 dolby digital signal out to a home theatre receiver. I have tried powerdvd, windvd, roxio dvd player and others i can't think of right now. I just want to pass the raw s/pdif signal out to the decoder on my receiver. The vu meters that came with the m-audio card show output on the s/pdif channel but I only get intermittent sound. The sound will play for a second or two and then cut out and the decoder on the receiver flashes that the signal is in error. It seems like the bitstream isn't quite right. I am using the m-audio audiophile 2496. The s/pdif channel works fine for dolby prologic sent out the digital channel.
