OK folks, I was all excited today as I finished my HTPC project and put it in my AV rack below my Denon 2805. Everything works great, picture is fantastic, BUTTTTTT
I can't get SPDIF sound to my 2805 to work. The motherboard came with Realtek upto 8 channel sound with SPDIF out coax jacks. BIOS says it is enabled. In the various DVD players I've tried, I have SPDIF turned on, but still no sound.
In my Denon Input Digital assignment menu I have the DVD player set to COAX 1 to match the cable location from the HTPC.
I've looked in XP's Sound settings in control panel and can't find anything. I'm at a loss and frustrated as we were going to have company tonight to watch a movie.
The DVD player has the normal IDE ribbon interface hooked to the motherboard, and the audio jack cable I'm not using, is this ok? I had this player in another computer and never had this cd audio cable hooked up and I always received sound, so I assume the IDE cable to the motherboard passes the sound, if I can figure out what is going on.
Hope someone can help this computer guy that should be able to figure it out.
Here is an old post that shows my hardware further down in the post.
