Hi,

I have Creative audigy 2 nx, an xbox and logitech z640 speakers.

My problem is that I need the external decoder ( AV receiver) to output sound through the logitech Z640 speakers.

I have an idea. Will this work ??

Connect xbox through optical out to optical in of external decoder, then configure the laptop with nx2 to 'pass through' dolby digital and dts to the external decoder.

Then connect the external decoder optical out to the nx2 optical in. The speakers are connected to nx2 analog connections front/center/rear.

My questions are

1. Is the pass through function on nx2 for sound from pc or is it for digital input/ output as well ? In other words will the sound from external decoder reach the speakers or will it get looped back due to the pass through function ?

2. Will the sound output from exernal decoder optical out be transmitted as decoded 6 channels and will nx2 be able to handle that format and forward it to the speakers?

Thanks in advance

bypass the nx and connect the xbox to the receiver

otherwise you cna use the NX, but you will only ever get stereo sound from a digital connection on that without playing a DVD
