Hi guys,
i just want one universal question out of the way: is there an EAX sound card that really does transfer a Multi(!)Channel signal with applied EAX effects (not passthrough!) via Coax or Toslink?
Reason for asking: I'm looking for an EAX sound card for an XP build because i really do miss this stuff. But i want to use it with my home theater to get absolutely everything. Thing is tho- my current AV doesn't have analog inputs for each channel, the only options would be Coax or Toslink. Now.. i made a bit of research, but atm it seems, that the EAX sound cards only transfered Stereo (!) signals via Coax and Toslink and/or passthrough only, so no EAX effects applied.
Is this a general rule or are there some known exceptions? PCI and PCI-E should both be possible on my side...
Or was the "Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-610" device the only option, that was ever available for that?
Ty!
