Hi Sprogett
This thread was to learn about this technique of transferring sound.
In some ways it was unwise to separate my treads, but I wanted this one to address the issues specific to SPDIF. This way it might be interesting to a broader range of readers, interested in interconnecting kit.
On my sound problem thread, Bush and others have put a lot of work in to try to sort out why the on-board sound is intermittent. The Realtek system is on the M-B and has RCA plugs that are on the edge of the mother board with soldered wires straight into the board.
The whole notion of this thread was to learn how to achieve a work-around simply to bypassing the normal sound - there being some evidence that it's only the latter part of the sound system that gets cut off.( green bar in the Volume control bounces up and down when music is playing.)
Right now, the RCA output is fine, and with the Realtek menu popping up as I put the speakers in. BUT, it's done this before, then failed as I plonk meslef down to watch a movie.
