| 243007 | 2004-06-09 04:37:00 | Hey guys. My ASUS A7V600 (www.asus.com) has an 2 audio outs on the back. The normal speaker out 3.5mm stereo plug but its also got a S/PDIF out up by PS/2 plugs. Its basically just a single RCA plug. However, the other night I tried to watch a movie on my TV and it wouldnt work. I plugged the AV cable into the computer and the other end to the stereo and I also tried the VCR.... but to no avail. Do I need a preamp or anything? My driver is SoundMAX Sensura. I have the S/PDIF set up and everything as far as I know everything should be fine. Just one thing... in the volume control window, the S/PDIF slider is stuck. I cannot move it. Any ideas....thanks. |

| 243008 | 2004-06-09 04:46:00 | AFAIK S/PDIF is a digital signal so you can only plug it into an AMP that has a S/PDIF input on it. You can't plug it into the normal RCA left/right (red/white) sockets on VCR etc. You most likely will need a 5.1 (or more) amp to get this input. |

| 243009 | 2004-06-09 05:39:00 | CYaBro is correct. SPDIF is the Sony/Philips Digital Interface, and not compatable with the analogue AV style of interface even though they use the same connector (RCA) |
