> S/PDIF

> > Digital (S/PDIF) Audio Output Support ¾ By default, CineMaster typically sends audio data to the PC's sound card for playback through the speakers connected to the computer. This results in DVD audio and system sounds being mixed together through the same speakers.

> > When using an external Dolby Digital decoder/receiver, connected to the S/PDIF digital audio output connector on the rear bracket of the CineMaster card, you will need to select S/PDIF digital output mode on the DVD Player application.

> > Once selected, DVD audio will no longer be sent to the sound card and will only be sent to the S/PDIF connector. System sounds will still be sent to the PC's speakers. If you decide to disconnect the external Dolby Digital decoder/receiver, you will need to turn the S/PDIF setting off again — otherwise you will not hear DVD audio from the PC's speakers.

> Usage Example

> > Altec Lansing ADA 880 speakers are an example of an external Dolby Digital decoder that would require the setting change documented above. When using these speakers, it is necessary to select the S/PDIF digital audio output mode in order to utilize the Dolby Digital decoding circuitry in the speakers. Otherwise, DVD audio will be sent to the speakers through the PC's sound card.
