This is FYI in case you end up struggling as I did
Motherboard is Asus K8N (nForce 3 with ACL 850 audio chipset), connected to
an AV amplifier using the built in SPDIF out.
RTM home premium driver does provide stereo PCM sound, does does not
properly recognize the spdif out, and therefore you cannot select it in MCE
(consequense is no Dolby Digital / DTS /WMA Pro available)
Windows update version of the Realtek driver (as of today) and nVidia beta
driver produce the very same result
The Realtek Vista driver dated 28 dec 06 from there website (version 6.1)
does recognise the output correctly (enabling DD/DTS out), but it crashes the
Control Panel as soon as you want to open it. You can fix this by changing
the driver (no need to remove it, just pick the old one in the advanced
options), but then you loose DD/DTS again.
Hope this will help someone,
