If it is saying unknown coaxial you probably need to do the following (if you have a SB Audigy2) This worked for me. Have the mini-rca converter from digial out to the DD box. Now go to Start->All Prog->Creative->AudioHQ Once this opens open the Device Settings, the first tab is "Sampling Rate" with only 1 option to change "Digital Output Sampling Rate" Mine has 2 options 48KHz and 96Khz, it was set on 96Khz, soon as I switched it to 48Khz the DD box picked up the PCM signal - Dolby Digital movies work like a champ, haven't tested DTS yet. Also need to make sure that you have the Audigy2 set to forward the AC3 stream rather than decode it. You can do this on the Decoder tab. Hope this helps, let us know

Ok now that I got my bass problem fixed time to move ot the next one. I read an earlier post on here that I should run directly from the decoder box for stereo music (CDs and MP3s in my case) and for DVDs...for gaming I should run through the Audigy2 itself. Since I fairly regulalry switch between the two I have this question... First my setup: My PC box is on my desk with the monitor, the sub is on the floor directly under it and my decoder box sits on top of the PC box. Since I would rather not have to physically switch cables everytime I wanted to switch my current activity would it be okay to do the following: -Go to radio shack or similar place and get a Y-adapter /w 1 male and and 2 female ends, as well as some mini-plug extensions. -Now I will run cables out of the decoder box and the audigy2(using extensions) into the y-adapter, then the 1 male end of the y-adapter into the DD5.1 sub. -I would assume by doing this option, I could turn off the decoder box when plaing games and get my sound. Then when I wanted to listen to music I could turn the Audigy2's "digital only" on, turn the decoder box on and run my music that way (remote is nice in this situation). -My only worry is what if both the Audigy2 card and the decoder box are outputing signals at the same time? The Y-adapater will be sending both of the signals to the sub at the same time. Could this cause damage? or just garbled sound? or what? Will this work, if not anything else I can do?

Thanks, cleared everything up - I will be posting another question

I just got my DD5.1 system and got everything setup. All the channels seem to work, but when playing stereo music (MP3s through winamp in this case) the sub is barely, barely, barely doing anything. I know the sub works, I fired up a DVD and everything. I have an SB Audigy2 soundcard using the cards digital out to the DD5.1 decoder, etc etc. Is there something I have to change?
