vlc ...no spdif output??!!

[aussiemac]

I have VLC 0.8.6 installed.
I have tried to play Divx's with 5.1 ac3 ....and
DVDs with 5.1 Ac3 soundtracks.
But it doesnt work!!
I just get a kind of pulsing sound when I select the
A/52 over SPDIF!!

I can play stereo option.

I have my motherboard/onboard sound connected via optical link
to my 5.1 surround sound amp.

I can get 5.1 Ac3 sound output via this link
when using media player classic 6.4.9
and zoom player 5!!

But for some reason all I get when I try and select
A/52 over SPDIF...as I said ...is a kind of pulsing noise.
its almost like the soundtrack is out of phase/sync...

Its so annoying ...anyone have suggestions or tips to fix this?????

TIA Aussiemac

Have you tried this?

Go to [Preferences] and check [Advanced Options]

Then Expand [Audio] and select [Output modules]

Change [Audio output module] to [Win32 waveOut extension output]

Then click on [Save] and quit and re-start VLC

Try SPDIF output after all that and hopefully it should work.
