Hello!
Recently, I received a new Headset (Tritton AXPRO). This headset have a external dolby digital decoder connected to the PC via Optical Cable. Cause my Xfi Xtreme Music don´t have Optical connector, I decided to buy a new soundcard with it and enjoy the CMSS3D and Crystalizer from Xfi.
At this moment, I have my 5.1 connected to my Xfi Xtreme Music by analog cables, and my Headset to the motherboard by optical, but when I want to switch between them I have to change all the time my "Sound device".
Thats the two reasons because I want to buy a new soundcard and connect my speakers and my headset to the same device.
But when I was about to buy a Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 I read that in some cards Xfi effects like CMSS3D, Crystalizer, etc, don´t works via optical cable.
Is this true?
Is possible to have in my speakers and headset this Xfi effects at the same time?
Also I don´t know what is better:
- Connect the Decoder to the Audio card (Auzentech Forte) by Optical Cable and the Speakers by analog cables, enabling DTS and Dolby Digital on the Auzentech Forte.
or
- Connect the Decoder to the Auzentech Forte by Optical Cable, and the speakers to the Decoder, enabling DTS on the Auzentech Forte and Dolby on the decoder.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I tried my best
