Do the Terratec Aureons and 5.1 DD.

Do Terratec Aureons (sky models) decode dolby digital 5.1 in drivers or do they require a separate hardware/software decoder? By this, I mean that if I were to put in a 5.1DD signal into the optical input, would I be able to get an analog 5.1 output if I chose to do so (without extra hardware/software)?

(did that make sense?)

Nope, the driver does not support DD 5.1 decoding. Neither does the Prodigy 7.1 driver.
