I don't much like doing that as it destroys the sound quality.<br> I also don't much like that old howto that you referenced, didn't have much<br>luck with it, which is why I wrote the one I wrote.

both spdif and hdmi.<br>However, the spdif is not showing up as digital. I assume this is because I do not have pass through set up correctly. If so, how do I set the spdif out as pass through><br></div>
