Hey all. Im currently using a GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 13366 Intel X58 motherboard with a creative sound blaster X-fi Xtremegamer sound card. I recently bought a nice headest for online gaming that accepts audio one of two ways. Through an optical toslink port and through the 3.5 mm jacks like those on the sound card. I would like to route sound through the optical out port on my motherboard but am having some trouble making that work. From what I can tell there is no signal running to the optical out port (there is no red light on in the port).
So I am wondering two things. One, is there some BIOS setting that I have to turn the port on? If so, where in the BIOS menu is it. And two, is it possible to easily route sound to this port even with the sound card in and working. I am running windows 7 x64 if you need that info. Also, im at work right now so I may not be able to answer some questions right away.
Thanks for the help in advance
