						Are you sure this isn't up to the driver? What sound card/onboard do you have? Perhaps you should check forums specific to that brand of sound devices, maybe there are some workarounds.

						A dummy signal does not seem like a possible solution because if you play a coded dummy signal (like AC3 or DTS) in background you can not use Windows' mixer to "add" your actual coded sound to it. This would just result in a corrupt AC3/DTS stream.

						Do I understand the problem correctly: you want to play short AC3/DTS sounds but your reciever needs too long to switch to the needed decoder so you only hear the end of these coded sounds, right?

						I don't think that it is a specific SPDIF problem, as the same happened to me with win7.
 
 
On win XP I had a constant noise in the background whenever I used my headphones, which was especially annoying when there was no sound at that moment. With win7 everything is nice and I can hear that noise only when a sound is played but it's not worth mentioning.
 
 
But then I switched to the official drivers for my soundcard and I had that noise all the time again, just like it was with XP. So I switched back to the standard win 7 driver

						@ punpaction
 
yeah i think this is a general win 7 problem because win 7 handles audio differently but i hoped there would be a workaround
 
 
@me7 no my receiver needs a second  no matter which signal (even stereo) so even with normal windows sounds i only hear the end of em. with win xp i didnt have that problem = constant signal to amp
 
 
@Frant
 
im using spdif so the soundcard does nothing all processing goes on in my receiver i dont want to buy an expensive soundcard which basically is a better audio cable...

						Well you could start winamp with your computer and let it play a soundfile with no noise and let it repeat over and over again  
 
 
Or you could just try another driver
