5. I can’t hear audio input (Mic, Line-in, AUX, etc.) from my

speakers.

• Please select the correct input as the recording source. If you are

using Windows Vista/Win 7, please also go to system audio control

panel to see the current default recording/input device is right.

• Please remember to turn on the digital monitoring button for that

recording source

6. Will PCM sound output through S/PDIF be just 2 channels even

with different analog output channels?

The S/PDIF protocol specication (IEC-60958) can only carry 2-channel

PCM data or non-PCM AC3/DTS data. So, when a user selects PCM

output for S/PDIF, the sound card will always deliver 2 channel PCM

data through the S/PDIF output port. For attaining 5.1 channel surround

sounds, you can select DDO, which will allow the STRIX sound card

series to deliver 5.1 surround sound for DVD movies, and even stereo

music.
