After much fiddling I am... nowhere.
I moved the puter and hooked it up to the receiver. It took me a while, but I got the receiver configured for Optical Digital In (all manual). One minor glitch, the display is still in the bedroom because the receiver is on top of the stand for easy access. I had to pull the crt off my old pc and move it into the livinroom.
So I popped in a CD and... nothing. I double checked all my settings on the receiver and they are OK. According to the manual a pulsing digital input label means no signal. Sigh.
I looked high and low in Vista and there is no indication of anything relating to passing PCM. The audio driver interface indicates that optical out is connected and working. Sigh.
When I pull up the profile for the interface PCM is not shown as a supported format. I have no idea if it is even considered a 'format'.
The first thing I will try tomorrow is analog out from the computer. I need mini-jack to RCA connectors though.
If anyone else has any suggestions or insights I would appreciate it.
