there is no AC3 decoding on 10k1 boards w/ kX

Are you sure Chris?

I have a SB0060 and with Win DVD set to digital SPDIF mode, I get great AC3 sound without using the surrounder or any external filters. Granted I have analogue speakers, does that make a difference?

Mind you I'm not complaining, just curious.

afaik kX doesn;t have a decoder or passthrough engine

hmm~sure,kX support sw ac3 decode,just set the ac3 to spdif and you'll hear the sound

kX does support AC3 decode and passthrough, but only on 10k2 as i understand

Hi there,
Maybe i found the answer...with kx3537 i got spdif sound from dvd that's nice.
But lights dont go to dolby digital or DTS..İ think i buy an optical out sound card
i can have my lights blink all the time ...but i connect pc to gd580 on coaxial out
thats the problem then...with only kx drivers i can get spdif sound from powerdvd...
any ideas?
