so i connected my mobo through receiver via coaxial, rear speakers sound come out of front
if i connect receiver with stand alone dvd player via coaxial i get dolby digital, not with pc however, i can only choose stereo or pro logic, if i try test in properties i get 5.1 so it must be media player
tried both mpc hc and kmp no dice
my setup gigabyte mobo ALC889A with latest drivers/software installed for ALC889A, speaker setup creative inspire 5.1 digital 5500
which filter/output settings should i use for mpc, tried chosing spdif but i get no sound
anyone?

What OS do you have? If it's 64bit, you will need 64bit versions of the players, or you won't get 5.1 audio. I helped Nouse with the exact same problem few months ago, so you should look for that thread. I gave him link that helped him.

have you selected ac3/dts in internal filters?
have you selected to use a digital source in your creative drivers thingie, don't have creative myself, I use kx drivers so don't know how it works with creative drivers.

5.1 analog is just for games...
ac3 and dts are for movies.

Uhm no, if you have a high-end card, it is possible to encode everything to DD (AC3) on the fly. |
ok, and whats the point in that?

On high-end speakers it would sound better than from an analog input.

Which may have more to do with shitty D/A converters in the amp than with the signals themselves.
