Can I know if this is correct and if there is any settings to take note of? I am using a HP tx1000 series laptop, running on vista, i change to the digital out setting but my headamp doesn't give any output at all.
Did i use the wrong cable? or was my connection/settings wrong?
Your laptop most probably have a combined 3.5mm headphone out and optical S/PDIF. Just like other laptops out there, like my MacBook Pro.
Hence you need a suitable optical cable, instead of the coax one you use now.
There's a very interesting test of HDMI and 75 ohm video cables at PC World - The Cable Game. It was done a couple of years ago. Not the cable type you're looking for, but given that the HDMI cable is doing something similar, you might find it useful to read over.

Sure i will try getting a 3.5mm plug to optical DAC cable.
Thanks.
