I am trying to output AC3 Dolby Digital via SPDIF from my Cable Box to my PC. I have a Motorola DCH6200 with HDMI, Component and one Optical output, an Auzuntech Prelude for a sound card, which outputs via SPDIF to my Zero DAC where I plug in my Denon D2000 headphones.
I basically just want to listen to the output from my cable box over my headphones, but I am unable to choose any audio format other than Dolby Digital as of a few updates ago (thanks alot TimeWarner >_<). Previously output via optical connected to the SPDIF input on my sound card worked beautifully, and I know the cable is OK as it works with other components (and I can see light shine through it). I would prefer to keep this under $200, as I am not planing in hooking up any speakers.
As long as I can listen to my PC and the cable box at the same time I am all set.
