I recently built a PC (Win7) from which I run 7.1ch audio with the Prodigy X-Fi NRG sound card. I love it, and I've been able to discern lyrics I couldn't before. Alas, woe to this newbie; I cannot run Dolby into the digital optical port. The SPDIF-input only accepts stereo.
After reading and searching until I want to punch my own face, I've finally started emailing manufacturers, and decided to join this community.
What I'm looking for is a PCI-E sound card that has 7.1 output, and 5.1 channel input via digital optical. I don't know too much about Dolby signals, but I do know the signal is coming from XBOX 360 and XBOX One.
Any input is appreciated! Thank you!
