I just need to find a proper way to keep the spdif output active. Its this delay thats causing the problem. The mindisk deck displays a message that tells you if it has locked onto the spdif signal, or not, and when i play a sound (from silence before) i see it briefly flicker to "unlocked" and back to /working corectly/ as it re-locks on to the stream. I have also found that simply running quicktime, and keeping that open for some reason keeps the spdif output active and everything works fine. So, for example if i play a video in WMP, and mute the sound, this keeps the spdif output active (even though no sounds coming out) and playing any other sounds, like music thru itunes, the windows volume control plinger all work fine. I have done lots of experimentation, and it seems to be a case of "tricking" the soundcard to keep the spdif output active. Im using its "Monitor" function to take in the signal, and and ouptut it to my amp via its standard analogue out (What im basicaly tryin to do here is use my minidisk deck's DAC instead of the one in my laptop) Its able to recieve streams from other devices (CD players, consoles, etc) via optical in without problems. I have ruled out the possibility of this being faulty in any way. Im using a Technics SJ-MD150 minidisk deck to recieve the signal, via a standard 5M optical cable. This is a laptop were dealing with here so the soundcard is integrated (onto the southbridge), as follows:ĭriver Version: 6. The problem as far as i can tell is that the sound card sees fit to "unlock" the spdif stream (stop clocking it), which means that next time some sound id output, it takes a moment for the recieveing device to "lock" back on the the stream again, anyway. Just to clarify, as soon as the recieveing device locks on to the signal it works brilliantly, thers absolutely no audiable delay between it and the analogue output.
