As for my sound, I'm using the Logitech Z-5500 series speakers...which, yes, does support analog and digital...with it comes a decoder which does work with Dolby Digital and DTS. </P><P>The first thing I notice with Vista is that is looks like everything got revamped with audio...nice; I love it...but... Under the analog mode, I am able to configure my speakers and all that jazz, most importantly, I am able to tell Windows that I have a 5.1 speaker setup. Under the digital options, I'm given every option under the sun, except the one to inform the damn thing that I have a 5.1 setup...</P><P>I can test the setup, and lo and behold, all six speakers are functional. Awesome...except that all my other programs are convinced that there are only two speakers. </P><P>Is there some option I am missing that will inform my OS what setup I have...? </P><P>Something I'd love even more...I notice that when I have my 360 plugged into my receiver, or any other optical output device, it constantly reads that it is getting a digital feed... Is there some way to have my OS output Dolby or whatever it is all the time? Or am I stuck with PCM forever?</P><P>Thanks!Sat, 17 Feb 2007 16:03:30 GMTChris Mattison
