But, you'll notice that in 1) (which you clipped), he said (adding it back):

So, if using the 350 for outputing sound (which means the 350 is 
decoding), there's absolutely no sound coming out of the sound card.  
The whole purpose of looping the PVR-350 output through the sound card 
is to allow a single connection from the computer to the 
receiver/speakers, which is used for *all* sound output--whether the 
sound is generated by the PVR-350 or by the sound card.
