Snake,
Make sure the Toslink is enabled in the sound card.
You may want to try turning off all other outputs except that particular optical and see if you get any sound from the receiver...Also, you may want to check to make sure the optical connection on the receiver has been enabled in the receivers' setup...
Hope this helps...

WhatFurrer has you off to a good start. Your computer will decode the WMA sound into a standard digital stream, so the WMA compatibility of your Denon is moot.

However if you pass an AC3 stream out the AVR will decode that for ya.
But ya, make sure the *digital out* is enabled, some soundcards have em disabled by default.
Basically my AVR just says the signal is either PCM or Dolby Digital and applies the appropiate decoder. (on my HTPC)

Not sure i think it was user error/driver to start then in my screwing around and trying different things i changed something then did not change it back after fixing initial problem. you know my own worst enemy. so i just started again from the begining and it worked like a charm. Thanks again
