Audigy S/PDIF in - tehnical question

chriss_013

Can somebody answer ( with some arguments ) to the following question ?

So here is the situation :
- a computer wit Win XP SP1 OS and Audigy 2 bulk soundcard ;
- an Altec Lansing 251 speaker system connected to Audigy's analog outputs;
- a stand-alone DVD Player ( I think don't matter the brand ) with coaxial digital output.

The Audigy 2 soundboard have (on board) with other connectors one called SPDIF in / CD digital in. I've made an adapter RCA - 2 pin molex and I've tried to connect digital-out from DVD Player to that SPDIF in of Audigy 2.
Is it possible to get somehow AC 3 stream from DVD player, to take it in Audigy - > Dolby Decoder ->DAC and to take it out on analog outputs ?

I put this question because that DVD player has only stereo outputs or digital-out. And I taught that somehow I can use the Audigy 2 like a receiver or something http://www.hardwareheaven.com/images/s...big%20grin.gif

So, if you guys have an opinion ( positive or negative ) please write it here.

Thank you for your attention

the AC3 decoder in kX only works if you use one of the SPDIF inputs on the AD_EXT header (pinout in the Audio tech forum)
